About The Position

Remarkable Futures Start Here. Storal's Purpose is to give children healthy foundations in fantastic settings, helping them build the confidence and resilience that will set them up for success later in life. The Marina Nursery School by Storal is located on the University of Lincoln campus and thrives on strong relationships with families, students, and the wider community. Our beautifully designed spaces create a stimulating and engaging environment that supports every child’s development. Set beside the Brayford Pool, our children enjoy daily moments of wonder as they observe ducks, ducklings, and swans, connecting deeply with the natural world right outside our doors. This role involves providing cover for children as and when needed, which could be for periods of holiday, sickness, or vacancy gaps. Support may be for a full day, or just a morning or afternoon session. Pivoting when circumstances call for it is a regular occurrence in child care. Creativity is key, and teaching young children allows for hands-on arts and crafts, storytelling, exercise, and educational games. Activities should be kept fresh and new to keep attention spans engaged, while working within the EYFS standards.
