At 4myschools, we are pleased to be supporting a range of welcoming and inclusive Nursery and Infant school provisions across Norwich who are seeking Level 2 and Level 3 qualified Nursery Practitioners to join their teams on a daily supply basis from September 2026. These settings place a strong emphasis on nurturing the whole child, providing a safe, stimulating and engaging early years environment where children feel valued, supported and encouraged to develop independence and curiosity through play-based learning. As a daily supply practitioner, you will play a vital role in maintaining continuity of care and learning, supporting children across the EYFS, and working collaboratively with experienced teaching and early years teams to uphold high standards of care, safeguarding and wellbeing. Duties will include supporting planned activities, encouraging communication and social development, assisting with personal care routines where required, observing and responding to children’s individual needs, and promoting positive behaviour in line with each setting’s policies and values. Many of the provisions also support children with additional needs, so a calm, patient and adaptable approach is essential.

Candidate profile

The ideal candidate should be committed  and capable working with pupils in a Primary School setting.

This role would suit someone who can build positive relationships, adapt to different classroom environments, and support pupils with a range of learning needs.

The ideal candidate will hold a recognised Level 2 or Level 3 Early Years qualification and have previous experience working within a nursery, early years or infant school setting. You will be confident supporting children aged 3–7, have a good understanding of the EYFS framework, and be able to adapt quickly to different environments on a day‑to‑day basis.
