Graduate Training Scheme at Linden Tree Nursery School

Linden Tree Nursery Schools are Froebel Day Nursery Schools in Battersea and Clapham in South London for children aged 6 months to 5 years old.

We are offering a fantastic new opportunity for enthusiastic graduates to join our dedicated team within our day schools for children aged 0-5 years.

Applicants do not need any previous childcare or teaching experience but do need to be very energetic, ambitious graduates. You will need excellent problem solving skills and be prepared to work in a challenging environment because you want to help us achieve a wonderful learning experience for our children in conjunction with their families and other staff.

We are seeking to recruit 3 Graduate Trainees, one for each of our nurseries. The Training Programme will be co-ordinated by our in-house Training Manager and we seek to support your career path to Nursery Manager within 2 years.

We are a private company which has been established since 2005 and we currently operate 3 children’s day nursery schools and wish to expand in the coming years. All our nurseries have been newly renovated inside and out with a natural effect garden for children to grow and develop through the Froebelian approach.

Our opening hours are 8 am until 6.30 pm Monday to Friday and we are open 51 weeks of the year, closed on Bank Holidays and a week over Christmas.
