Bee in the Woods Forest Kindergarten is a magical outdoor childcare setting based on the outskirts of Brighton. Our two beautiful woodland bases provide 3-8 year old's with a unique early years experience in a child-led and play-based environment. We value nature as our teacher and learn through play amongst the trees or on visits to the local beach.
We are always looking for passionate and committed team mates to join us in the creation and delivery of our two settings.
We employ people with a zest for life, a love of the outdoors and a passion for the importance of kids playing outside. We are a close and supportive team and are immensely proud of what we do and of our Outstanding Kindergarten.
We also believe in the power of nature for bringing families and communities together. We work with families and organisations within our community to reduce loneliness and boost happiness and health through time together in nature.
4 days/32 hours a week. Year Round.

"I love being part of such a great team and building relationships with the children. It’s a privilege to get to know them and see their trust in me, the other staff and the setting, build and watch them grow. It feels like we are developing and building something really special together and making a positive impact and building community too.
