On-Site Nursery Practitioner (Level 3) — Part-Time, 32h

General Information

• Role: Nursery Practitioner

• Company: Leading Retail Company (likely a major department store or supermarket head office with an internal nursery)

• Reference: #J-18808-Ljbffr

• Location: Likely Leicester or regional office (based on previous queries)

• Job Type: Part-time

Key Responsibilities

• Childcare & Education: Delivering high-quality care and structured educational activities for young children.

• Welfare Standards: Upholding strict safeguarding and welfare protocols within a nurturing environment.

• Ofsted Compliance: Working within an “Outstanding” rated setting, meaning there is an expectation of very high professional standards and detailed record-keeping of children’s development.

Candidate Requirements

Qualifications

• Certification: Must hold a Level 2 or Level 3 Nursery/Childcare Qualification.

• Experience: Prior experience working with children is essential.

Attributes

• Commitment: A dedicated professional focused on child development and safety.

• Nurturing Nature: Ability to create a warm and supportive environment for early years learners.

Perks & Benefits

• Retail Discount: A significant 25% staff discount (a major perk if this is a high-end UK retailer like John Lewis or similar).

• On-site Facility: Access to an Ofsted-rated “Outstanding” nursery on-site.

• Stable Environment: Working for a major retail leader often provides better corporate benefits and job security than smaller private nurseries.

Summary of the Role

This is a “Workplace Nursery” role, which differs slightly from a standard community nursery. You will be supporting the children of the company’s employees, often resulting in a very consistent and professional atmosphere. Given the “Outstanding” rating, the nursery will likely follow a very robust EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework.

Quick Tip: Because this is a part-time role with a major retailer, they may offer “pro-rata” benefits. Be sure to ask if the 25% discount applies to all categories of the store and if there are specific “blackout” periods where it cannot be used.
