What skills and experience we're looking for

Are you a qualified teacher (QTS essential) with a passion for early childhood education? Do you believe in the magic of nursery years and the power of play to shape little minds and big hearts? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

At Kingsdown Nursery School, we are proud to be part of a family of maintained nursery schools across the county, working together to champion high-quality early education. We are looking for a flexible, adaptable and smiley teacher who can bring joy and creativity to our youngest learners every single day.

The right person to join our school will be someone who fits with our values, shares our passion for early years and wants to be part of something special. It doesn’t matter if you are early in your teaching career or if you bring years of experience – if you care deeply about children, want to make a difference and believe in the power of nursery education, then you could be the perfect fit for our team.

What we’re looking for:

  • A QTS-qualified teacher who truly values the importance of nursery education.
  • Someone who is playful, warm and fun, with a genuine love for children and a strong belief in their capabilities.
  • A teacher who can bring stories to life, sparking imagination and a lifelong love of reading.
  • A friendly and approachable colleague who is happy to work in partnership with parents.
  • An advocate for childhood who understands how young children learn and can adapt to meet their ever-changing needs.
  • A proud member of a professional community, committed to working collaboratively within the Lincolnshire Maintained Nursery School Federation.

In return, we offer a supportive and inspiring environment, where your contribution is genuinely valued and where you can make a real difference in the lives of children and families.

If you’re ready to be part of something special – and to share your smile, your stories, and your spark – we’d love to welcome you to our team.

Come and meet us so you know what you’ll be getting!

Visits to the school are warmly welcomed and encouraged.
