Four Acres Academy is seeking a caring, enthusiastic and dedicated Early Years Educator to join our friendly nursery team. Our nursery offers something a little different, welcoming children from 9 months to 3 years old, an age range that is rarely offered within school-based settings across Bristol.

This is a rewarding role where you will have the opportunity to bring our nursery curriculum to life, creating engaging and stimulating learning experiences that support every child, regardless of ability, to grow, develop and reach their full potential. You will play an important role in providing a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment where every child feels valued, supported and encouraged to thrive.

Working as part of our nursery team, you'll help create engaging learning experiences that encourage confidence, independence and a positive start to every child's education.
