Who you are

At kinderzimmer UK, we value individuality in all aspects of our team, including the pedagogical approach you take as an educator. We encourage broad and diverse adult thinkers, as we feel this allows us to accommodate a greater spectrum of children.

Rather than tell you what we are looking for, we prefer to find out more about you and encourage your pedagogical approach. With this information, we can then match you to the nursery room where your approach is not only welcomed, but given the room to flourish.

Ask yourself;

Are you a jump right in and get involved type of person?
Or, would you rather take one step back, set out the work table with resources, and leave the children to explore independently?
Or maybe you prefer to take two or three steps back, wanting to let the child choose his/her own task, and carry it out from start to finish unhindered by adult intervention?

Regardless of what your approach is, we are keen to find out about you!
