Hunts Cross Nursery is a busy day care setting for children aged 0-5 years old. We are very fortunate to be situated within Hunts Cross Children's Centre and also attached to Hunts Cross Primary School. Our nursery is governed by the Hunts Cross Primary School board of Governors and we have strong links with our primary school working very closely with schools Early Years team.

Hunts Cross Nursery is committed to safeguarding children and promoting children’s welfare and expects all staff, governors, volunteers, and visitors to share this commitment and maintain a vigilant and safe environment.


It is a criminal offence for someone who is disqualified to knowingly seek or accept work (or continue to work) in a ‘regulated activity position’. Therefore, in addition to interviews applicants will be required to undertake pre-employment checks which will include References, Health, Right to Work in UK, Overseas Criminal Checks, Enhanced DBS and Barred List checks and if applicable a check under the DfE Childcare Disqualification Regulations 2009.

Keeping Children Safe in Education states the need for schools to conduct an “online search as part of their due diligence on the shortlisted candidates.” The purpose of the online check is to help identify any incidents or issues that have happened, and are publicly available online, which the school / setting might want to explore with the applicant at interview, to establish their suitability to work with children. The online check forms are one part of the school’s pre-employment checks process.

All candidates should hold a Level 2 or Level 3 in a relevant childcare qualification. Candidates should have some experience of working with children aged between 0-5 years in a day care or nursery setting and have a range of suitable skills which will work well with and strengthen our busy nursery team. Full Person Specification attached. Our Nursery operates between 8am-6pm term time only.
