- Partnership with Parents: Build and maintain strong, positive relationships with parents and carers, providing clear and constructive feedback on their child's day and development in a warm and professional manner.
- Team Collaboration & Environment: Work effectively as part of a cohesive nursery team, contributing to a positive staff culture. Help maintain a clean, safe, organised, and inviting learning environment.
