Holly House is a small, close-knit nursery where every member of the team genuinely matters. If you are passionate about early years education, care deeply about children and want to work somewhere you will truly make a difference, we would love to hear from you.
Join the Holly House Team
What We Look For
We’re looking for passionate, qualified early years practitioners and early years educators to join our team — people who care deeply about giving children the very best start in life and who want to work somewhere that genuinely cares about them too. Above all else, we look for people who share our values: warmth, patience, friendliness, honesty, curiosity and a genuine passion for working with young children. You must have excellent storytelling skills and a confident, engaging approach to singing nursery rhymes.
What You Can Expect
Joining Holly House means becoming part of a team that supports one another, takes professional development seriously and always puts children at the heart of everything it does.
We believe that when our team feels valued, supported, and happy, it creates the best possible environment for the children in our care.
That’s why we invest in our people with:
- An empathetic and caring leadership team who listen, support and value every member of staff.
- An Employee Assistance Programme, including 24-hour counselling support whenever you need someone to talk to.
- Fully paid staff events where we can relax, celebrate and enjoy time together outside of the nursery.
- Team-building days designed to strengthen relationships and bring our team closer together.
- Long-service bonuses every five years, recognising and rewarding your commitment to our nursery.
- Extra annual leave for long service — because we believe loyalty should be rewarded.
Most importantly, we want you to feel that you belong.
We’re proud to create a workplace where people look out for one another, celebrate each other’s achievements and know that they have a leadership team behind them.
If you’re a qualified nursery practitioner looking for a nursery where your wellbeing, development and happiness genuinely matter, we’d love to hear from you.
Come and be part of a team where you’re valued, supported and appreciated
