Welcome – Chris Lawson, Nursery Leader

Thank you for your interest in this vacancy at Parbold Douglas Nursery. We are a loving, aspirational and inclusive nursery, driven by our passion for supporting children to flourish. With our morning and after-school provision, we are in a unique position to watch the majority of our nursery go on to Parbold Douglas Church of England Academy and achieve great things.

Parbold Douglas Nursery operates out of Parbold Douglas Church of England Academy. The private business is led by a selection of Directors of the Academy Trust.

Serving the community of Parbold (West Lancashire) and its surrounding area, located in a beautiful, expansive setting to the west of Parbold Hill, we continue to expand to match the ever-increasing demand. This latest recruitment round is to add capacity across our four rooms and 22 strong staff team. Accepting children from 12 months, we have 75 spaces across our four rooms and adapt the provision to match demand where possible.

This September, we expanded further and have renovated our rooms to maintain the highest of standards our parents have come to expect. You would be joining the setting at a very important and exciting time. Our nursery is a wonderful place to work. We believe we are unique in our ability to offer a range of job opportunities from full-time and part-time; all-year-round and term-time and a range of flexible working times. We want the right people to enhance our already superb team and are very proud of our flexible working practices.

To fulfil our aspirational goals, we rely on our culture of togetherness. As a team and nursery and school family, we actively seek to serve one another. We celebrate and succeed together. All this, we do joyfully. Parbold Douglas is an exceptionally happy place to be.  

If you share our vision and want to join a forward-thinking team, we would be delighted to hear from you.
