Job Description :

Are you ready to swap your room-based setting for a more varied setting? Do you have the patience of a saint, the kindness of a teddy bear, and the ability to drink endless cups of imaginary tea? If so, we have the perfect job for you!

About Us

At Sunny Days we believe that childhood should be filled with mud pies, fairy hunts, and endless wonder. Nestled in the charming village of Brook, near Haslemere and Godalming, our pre-school nursery embraces nature-based learning, spending as much time as we can outside, but we also have a well-equipped cosy indoor classroom that serves as our base for adventures. In addition, we have a playground, a dedicated forest school classroom, a large field, and acres of woodland to explore.

Our setting provides the perfect balance of structured learning and free exploration, encouraging children to develop confidence, resilience, and a deep connection with nature.

We’re looking for a fun, energetic, and nurturing Early Years Adventurer to join our team and embrace a truly unique environment—one where your ‘classroom’ extends beyond four walls into the wonders of nature. Whether it’s sharing our setting with wildlife, leading story time under a canopy of trees, or enjoying the freedom of open-air learning, this role offers a refreshing change.

Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It)

– Be a champion of curiosity, leading little explorers through the wonders of nature, from making delicious mud pies to splashing in puddles.

– Plan and implement magical, age-appropriate activities that support children’s development in a natural environment.

– Observe, assess, and celebrate each child’s progress – whether they’ve learned to count to ten or joyfully jumped their way into a muddy puddle

– Develop strong relationships with parents and caregivers, keeping them updated on their child’s adventures and achievements.

– Ensure the safety and well-being of all children in your care, whether they’re pretending to be pirates, giants, or Gruffalos.

– Work as part of a fun, supportive, and creative team to create a positive and enriching environment for children

About You

– You love fresh air and can handle all seasons – from golden autumn leaves to unexpected spring downpours.

– You have an endless enthusiasm for pretend ice cream, no matter the flavour of the day.

– You’re patient, kind, and nurturing, with a deep understanding of child development and the EYFS framework, or willingness to learn

– You can turn a stick into a magic wand, a cardboard box into a spaceship, and a rainy day into an adventure.

– You have a Level 2 or 3 Early Years qualification and at least two years of experience working in an Early Years setting, this is desirable but not essential for the right person.

– Your communication and interpersonal skills are top-notch, and you have a valid DBS check, or are able to obtain one

Why Join Us?

– A competitive salary and opportunities for professional development.

– A supportive, friendly team that loves to laugh, play, and learn together.

– The chance to make a real difference in children’s lives while enjoying the great outdoors.

– Unlimited imaginary cups of tea and as many mud pies as you can handle!

If you’re ready to bring joy, adventure, and a sprinkle of magic to little learners, we’d love to hear from you! Apply today with your CV and a cover letter, and let’s embark on this exciting journey together!
