Child Care

2 hours ago4 views

Little Goslings is a warm and nurturing home-based early years setting in Beckenham, proudly awarded four consecutive Outstanding gradings by Ofsted.
We are currently seeking a friendly, enthusiastic, and reliable individual who is interested in beginning a rewarding career in childcare and early years education. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a caring “home from home” environment where children are encouraged to thrive, blossom, and feel truly valued every day.
About the Role
We are looking for someone who is:

  • Kind, calm, and caring
  • Energetic and enthusiastic
  • Reliable and trustworthy
  • Patient and nurturing
  • Organised and eager to learn
  • Able to build positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues
  • Friendly, approachable, and has a good sense of humour
    Main Duties
    Responsibilities will include:
  • Supporting children’s care, learning, and wellbeing
  • Assisting with the day-to-day running of the setting
  • Helping to maintain a clean, safe, and stimulating environment
  • Building warm and respectful relationships with children, parents, and staff
  • Planning and organising engaging activities for young children
  • Completing safeguarding and role-specific training
  • Supporting administrative tasks and parent communication
    What We Are Looking For
    Formal qualifications are not essential; however, a warm, caring, and nurturing personality is a must. We are looking for someone who is motivated to develop professionally and work towards gaining relevant qualifications.
    Experience working with children under five years old, or knowledge of the EYFS curriculum, would be beneficial but is not essential. Full support and training will be provided for the right candidate who is passionate about working with young children.
    There will also be opportunities to gain a Level 2 or Level 3 qualification in Childcare and Education, making this an ideal first step into a fulfilling career in childcare or education.
    This role comes with the unique privilege of becoming an important part of young children’s lives and supporting families throughout their early years journey — there truly is no other role quite like it.
    Hours & Benefits
  • 40 hours per week over 4 days (Monday–Thursday)
  • 4 weeks paid holiday annually
  • Paid bank holidays (setting closed)
  • Salary to be discussed at interview
    Important Information
    The successful applicant will be subject to:
  • A successful interview
  • An enhanced DBS check
  • Satisfactory references
    Extensive training will be provided, although some courses may need to be completed in your own time to support your role.
    Please note that we are a genuine “home from home” setting and have a small dog called Rosie, who very much considers herself one of the children!
