Kinderzimmer UK are currently looking for Room Leaders to join our Baby, Toddler or Preschool room.
From tiny to really big! Join one of the fastest growing nursery groups in the UK!
In 2012 we opened our first nursery. Today, Kinderzimmer has over 30 locations that provide over 4,000 children a second home. After delivering first-class education and care in Germany for ten years, we are now taking what we do exceptionally well and coming over to the UK shores. We are a growing private nursery group that puts children’s well-being at the forefront of every action we take. Our approach combines world class child-care and sustainability. Kinderzimmer ensures that every voice is heard, no matter how small! We pride ourselves on creating an exceptional environment for all staff, where individuality and uniqueness is not only encouraged, but celebrated!
The Setting
Nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac, our spacious Grade II listed Georgian building is in a prime location that offers both peace and convenience. Equipped with a sprawling outdoor area, the nursery ensures that each child can play freely within a safe and secure environment. With a remarkable capacity to accommodate 116 children, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional care and individual attention to each and every child.
Step into our central dining room, a vibrant hub where children can immerse themselves in the joy of baking, food experiments, and delightful messy play. Moreover, our garden space is flourishing, serving as an ideal setting for children to explore the wonders of nature and foster a deep affection for gardening.
What you will be doing
- Guide, inspire and lead a team of childcare professionals to provide outstanding care and education
- Plan and provide a diverse learning environment that offers consistent stimulation and exciting activities for children both inside and outside
- Deliver learning experiences that support children’s development and nurture them to achieve personal milestones
- Foster strong relationships with colleagues, parents and relevant professionals to attend to each child’s unique needs
- Ensure adherence to policies and procedures related to child welfare, protection, health and safety, and safeguarding at all times
- Collaborate with your team to maintain a safe and happy environment on a daily basis
What we can offer you
Our playground could be your workplace. In exchange for your commitment, enthusiasm and passion you will get a lot in return, not just from the children, but from us also! kinderzimmer UK has a market-leading benefits package which is tailored to the individual employee's needs.
The benefits package includes but is not limited to;
- A free childcare place for your child at a kinderzimmer nursery
- Annual bonuses for all employees, not just the managers!
- Annual personal development budget
- Wellness day
- Annual subscriptions to market leading fitness and mental health apps
- And much much more!
Who you are
At kinderzimmer UK, we value individuality in all aspects of our team, including the pedagogical approach you take as an educator. We encourage broad and diverse adult thinkers, as we feel this allows us to accommodate a greater spectrum of children.
Rather than tell you what we are looking for, we prefer to find out more about you and encourage your pedagogical approach. With this information, we can then match you to the nursery room where your approach is not only welcomed, but given the room to flourish.
Ask yourself;
- Are you a jump right in and get involved type of person?
- Or, would you rather take one step back, set out the work table with resources, and leave the children to explore independently?
- Or maybe you prefer to take two or three steps back, wanting to let the child choose his/her own task, and carry it out from start to finish unhindered by adult intervention?
Regardless of what your approach is, we are keen to find out about you!
