What does the Nursery Housekeeper role entail 

Welcome to the heart of Kido, where passion, ambition, and people are at the core of everything we do! As the Nursery Housekeeper, you'll be more than a Housekeeper; you'll be an ambassador for our values, and a gatekeeper for our vibrant culture. 

We set the bar high aiming for nothing less than greatness and your role will be instrumental in achieving that. Get ready to immerse yourself in ensuring that the nursery is presented to a high standard. You’ll be proud of maintaining cleanliness and complying with Health & Safety, Environmental Health and COSHH regulations. 

Day-to-day you’ll ensure everything is in its rightful place, fresh and clean, ready to amplify the children’s learning journeys, ensuring clean surfaces, items, floors and laundry is maintained. Tidiness is also key, ensuring bins are emptied and belongings are organised.

It’s not just the classrooms that you’ll be responsible for; the front-of-house area is where we make the first impression. To ensure it’s inviting and welcoming for all you’ll arrange fresh flowers, stow away shoes, tidy leaflets and tables and hang up coats. Your efforts will create a space where children can flourish, parents find comfort and the whole team excel. You’ll play a key role in creating an environment that reflects our commitment to excellence in early years.

We take pride in creating a nurturing environment that caters to individual needs, acknowledging the diversity of each child's background, culture, disabilities and medical history. With great attention to detail you'll ensure our nursery remains a sanctuary where every child can flourish and grow. Your flexibility and dedication, insights and feedback will be valued as we constantly push the boundaries of excellence and reimagine what exceptional early years education really means.

What we’re looking for 

• For the Housekeeper role there are no specific qualifications needed but COSHH training is beneficial
• A friendly and efficient approach comes first alongside an interest in working around children
• Your values will align with our 3 core values - Listen, Learn and Lead 
• You will likely have some previous experience in a Housekeeping or Cleaning role 
• You must hold the right to work in the UK 
• If shortlisted you’ll be asked to provide details of all unspent convictions prior to interview, in line with our Safer Recruitment process. We will also process an Enhanced DBS Criminal Record check for anyone who joins the team
