A great nursery job should give you more than a room to work in. It should give you somewhere you actually want to stay.

You should also have:
A good understanding of the EYFS Knowledge of safeguarding responsibilities Confidence communicating with parents and colleagues A caring and reliable approach The ability to work effectively as part of a nursery team
