Level 3 Nursery Practitioners - french speaking in Vauxhall

📣 Level 3 Nursery Practitioners—bring your skills, enthusiasm and a little “bonjour”!

📍 Roles across South London
Salary negotiable according to qualifications, experience and skills

Tendly is recruiting passionate, hands-on nursery practitioners for nurseries that recognise quality staff and are willing to pay for the right people.

French language skills are particularly welcome, but applications are also encouraged from committed practitioners who bring creativity, care and enthusiasm to every day.

What will you be doing?

• Providing warm, attentive care so children feel safe, settled and confident.
• Planning and delivering engaging activities, including sensory play, stories, music, outdoor exploration and imaginative play.
• Supporting children’s communication, independence, friendships and development.
• Working as a key person, building relationships with children and families and sharing updates on their progress.
• Observing children’s interests and development, keeping records and using these to plan their next steps.
• Supporting daily routines, including meals, toileting, nappy changes and sleep.
• Maintaining a clean, safe and welcoming environment and following the nursery’s safeguarding procedures.
• Working closely with colleagues and getting involved wherever the team needs support.
• If you speak French, introducing it through age-appropriate songs, stories and everyday interactions.

What do you need?

🎓 You must already hold a Level 3 qualification specifically in Childcare/Early Years. A Level 3 in another subject does not meet this requirement.

You should also have a practical understanding of the EYFS, confidence supporting young children, clear communication skills and a reliable, caring approach. Be ready to get down to children’s level—sometimes quite literally!

Hours and travel

These are full-time nursery roles, typically 40 hours per week, Monday–Friday, with shifts generally falling between 7:30am and 6:30pm. Exact hours depend on the nursery.
