We are looking for a Part Time Lunchtime Assistant working 20-25 hours a week to join our nursery at Westcroft, Milton Keynes. Based within the retail area of Westcroft (4 miles from Central Milton Keynes), the nursery is perfectly situated so the children can be part of the local community. They are often seen accessing the local amenities such as the library, shorting in the shops, participating in activities with the parish council, as well as walking in a beautiful forest school area and local park.
Acorn has recently been awarded a ‘Top 20 Recommended Nursery Group 2025’ Award by Day Nurseries in recognition of its high customer reviews over the last 12 months. We’re proud to be one of the leading childcare providers in Milton Keynes, Northampton and Bedford with over 35 years’ experience who specialise in nature pedagogy and promoting the professional development of our employees.
You will be rewarded with a competitive salary, great training and progression opportunities, enhanced pension contributions, and 65% childcare discount. As a not-for-profit organisation, Acorn always puts the needs of the children first, meaning you will be working for a business that cares about more than just profit. We close our nurseries for four days a year to allow days to train our staff in a variety of subjects.
The position is working 20-25 hours per week Monday through to Friday all year round working approximately between the hours of 10.30 - 15.30 every day.
We very much welcome candidates that are looking to progress their personal career development. The ideal candidate will be passionate, motivated and enthusiastic about outdoor learning and creative play.
