🌿 WE’RE HIRING – JOIN OUR TEAM 🌿
We’re looking for a caring, enthusiastic individual to join Lille & Wild — a nature-inspired, outdoors-first early years setting 🌿
✨ Childminding Assistant (Future Nursery Practitioner)
📍 Stogumber Cricket Club, TA4
🕒 21–32 hours (Mon–Thurs, flexible)
📅 44 weeks per year | Start: September 2026
🌿 About Us
Lille & Wild is a nature-inspired, outdoors-first early years setting, currently offering co-childminding with plans to grow into a Forest Kindergarten nursery.
Our ethos is rooted in child-led learning, play, and connection with nature. We believe children learn best through real experiences — exploring, creating and discovering at their own pace.
Based at Stogumber Cricket Club, we use the surrounding outdoor space alongside a cosy indoor base, with plans to develop our own log-cabin nursery on adjoining land.
🌿 The Role
Supporting the day-to-day care of children aged 0–5, helping to create a safe, nurturing and inspiring environment indoors and outdoors.
🌿 What You’ll Be Doing
• Supporting play and development through a child-led approach
• Spending time outdoors in all seasons
• Creating engaging environments
• Building positive relationships
• Supporting daily routines and care
• Observing and supporting learning
• Working as part of a small, supportive team
🌿 What We’re Looking For
Ideally Level 3 qualified in Childcare.
We also welcome applicants who:
• Hold a Level 2 qualification and want to develop
• Have relevant experience working with young children
For us, the right person is just as important as qualifications.
We are looking for someone who shares our values, has a genuine passion for working with children, and enjoys outdoor learning.
🌿 What We Offer
• Opportunity to grow within a nature-based setting
• Pathway to Nursery Practitioner role
• Supportive team environment
• Ongoing training and development
