What the Level 2 Early Years Educator role entails
As a Qualified Early Years Educator you’ll be more than just an Educator; Your primary focus will be creating a safe and inspiring learning environment where every child thrives.

You’ll collaborate with your team to plan, organise and execute engaging activities that align with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and the Kido curriculum. An ability to effectively communicate with parents, children and colleagues will empower you to deliver the best experience possible.

We believe in celebrating every child's unique journey and you'll play a key role in assessing and recording their progress and achievements. By aligning to our systems of observation and planning you'll ensure no milestone goes unnoticed and every achievement is celebrated.
We take pride in creating a nurturing environment that caters to individual needs, acknowledging the diversity of each child's background, culture, disabilities and medical history. Your flexibility and dedication, insights and feedback will be valued as we constantly push the boundaries of excellence and reimagine what exceptional early years education really means.
