If you’re looking for a childcare job in Edinburgh, Cranley Nursery could be the next step you’ve been looking for.
We’re looking for caring, enthusiastic people to join our team and help us continue giving children a happy, safe and supportive start. Whether you’re already qualified, recently started your childcare qualification, or are thinking about taking the next step in your early years journey, we’d love to hear from you.
At Cranley, nursery life is busy, fun and full of little moments that matter. No two days are exactly the same, and that’s part of what makes working in early years so rewarding. One minute you might be helping a child build confidence with a new activity, and the next you might be supporting outdoor play, encouraging language, helping with routines, or simply being a calm and familiar face in a child’s day.
Why work at Cranley Nursery?
Cranley is family run and family focused, and that feeling carries through into our team. We believe children do best when they feel secure, encouraged and free to explore. That same approach matters for our staff too.
Our nurseries are built around curiosity, play and independence. Children are encouraged to make choices, use their imagination and learn at their own pace. As part of the team, you play a big role in making that happen every day.
You can learn more about The Cranley Approach and how we support children across our Edinburgh nursery settings.
A supportive place to grow
A childcare job in Edinburgh should give you more than a place to work. It should give you a place to learn, build confidence and feel part of a team.
At Cranley, staff development is important to us. Our team is supported through training, in-house learning and external courses, helping everyone keep growing in their role. You can read more about our approach to staff training.
We know that people come into childcare in different ways. Some have worked in nurseries before. Some have helped raise a family, supported children through babysitting, or always felt drawn to working with young children but haven’t quite taken the step yet.
If that sounds like you, this could be a good time to chat with us.
For anyone looking into childcare qualifications or registration in Scotland, the Scottish Social Services Council is a useful place to understand what may be required as you progress.
