Job Description: Nursery Nurse in Wimbledon

Temping Agency is partnering with several Ofsted-rated 'Good' and 'Outstanding' nurseries and early years settings across Wimbledon SW19 and the surrounding boroughs of Merton. We are seeking a compassionate, skilled, and reliable Nursery Nurse to join our flexible workforce. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, enjoys building relationships with children and parents, and is committed to delivering the highest standards of care and early years education as outlined in the EYFS framework.

• Observation & Assessment: Conduct regular observations of key children, maintaining accurate and detailed learning journals to track progress and inform future planning.
• Partnership with Parents: Build strong, professional relationships with parents and carers, providing clear and positive feedback about their child's day and development.
• Safeguarding & Safety: Uphold the highest standards of safeguarding at all times. Ensure the nursery environment is safe, clean, and compliant with health and safety regulations.
• Team Collaboration: Work effectively as part of a nursery team, supporting colleagues, sharing ideas, and contributing to a positive staffroom culture.
