Knowle West Nursery School

A new academic year, a new opportunity.

Knowle West Nursery School is a unique place for children and families. We are an attachment aware, trauma informed setting and place emotional well-being and relationships at the heart of our curriculum.

In March 2024 we received the Trauma and Mental Health Informed School Award and we are the first early years setting and nursery school in the country to receive this validation.

We are looking for an experienced BG8 Early Years Practitioner to join our highly skilled, nurturing family team. If you are passionate about the Early Years and have creative, warm, engaging and playful practice that supports inclusion, and are enthusiastic about providing high quality provision then we are looking for you.

Applicants will need to demonstrate:

  • Enthusiasm, creativity and commitment to working with children and their families
  • A strong knowledge of the EYFS
  • Experience of supporting vulnerable learners

Visits in person are encouraged – come and meet us and see our inspiring learning environments.

Interviews: 16th July 2026

Knowle West Nursery School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We particularly welcome applications from under represented groups including ethnicity, gender, transgender, age, disability, sexual orientation or religion.
