Employer Description:Woodentots Montessori Nature BabiesWoodentots Nature Babies is the perfect home-from-home for any baby to start their Montessori journey. They have always wanted to offer something distinctly different to the conventional day nurseries offer for babies. So they created a homely, nurturing environment to prepare your ba-bies for the next stage of childcare. The sustainability-focused ethos at Woodentots Nature Babies aligns perfectly with Woodland Wanderers’ pre-school values, providing the continuity of holistic childcare for children from 3 months right all the way through to 5 years.Their beautiful Woodentots Nature Babies classroom is expertly designed for babies from 3 months up to 2 years 4 months, when they will be ready to progress to our Woodland Wanderers pre-school setting. The environment has been fully thought out to offer a natural sensory experi-ence. The babies are at home in a calm and cosy environment which echoes a comforting ‘womb-like’ atmosphere - nourishing and enriching in equal measure. Beautiful wooden toys and materials are carefully chosen for heuristic play. Following the Montessori philosophy “help me to do it alone”, low-level shelves are arranged with “treasure baskets” to develop sensory aware-ness, strengthen cognitive development and promote independence. Imagination and creativity are supported through free play with simpletoys and natural materials. Their Candle time is a daily ‘ritual’ which the children grow to be so fond of, involving singing and circle time just before lunch. Outdoors – every day - come rain or shine - we will go out and about in our “turtle bus” (our snazzy pushchair for six babies) to access nature in our own garden. Here, through child-led exploration, our babies can watch, listen, touch and smell nature for a wonderful outdoor sensory session.Working Hours :Apprentices are required to be flexible to meet the needs of the business, and punctuality is key. Working as part of a team and using own initiative are essential.

Employer Description:Set within the charming streets of Wapping, our newest setting is a five minute walk from Wapping Overground Station.
Built in 1871 this stunning and unique building provides our children with ample space and opportunity to spend their most formative years.
There are 7 classrooms tailored to specific age groups, all of which have beautiful large windows flooding the rooms with natural sunlight. We have created an environment that is bright and stimulating whilst also warm and cosy for the children to feel comfortable and secure.
DEDICATED SPACES
Mini Kitchen – Our aspiring chefs have access to a custom child-height kitchen for cooking and baking activities within our beautiful conservatory.
Life Sciences – Also housed in our conservatory, our miniature scientists have opportunities to bring the outside in and explore scientific concepts in a fun and engaging way.
Art Atelier – The Reggio approach highlights the environment as the third teacher and our dedicated Art Room is evidence of this. The space is bright and allows children to feel inspired, use box modelling and recycled materials to express themselves through art and design.
Dedicated Library – We love books at Puddle Jumpers! Our bespoke reading nooks encourage children to spend some quiet time with their parents or staff devouring pages of our favourite children’s books that can also be borrowed to read at home.
GARDEN AND OUTDOOR LEARNING
Our large outdoor space has been designed to stimulate physical play and provide children with ample opportunities to learn about nature. The garden is designed as two distinct areas reflecting the different areas of learning and development – everything from learning to nurture plants in our raised growing beds, make ‘chocolate cupcakes’ in the mud kitchen, have fun with water pumps, find insects in our bug hotel, or get physical on our bespoke climbing structure and tricycle track followed by some quiet time in our sheltered seating area.
Our Forest School curriculum is delivered in local green spaces including Wapping Green, Wapping Gardens and Waterside Gardens, all a short walk away.
