Some jobs come with cuddles built in. 🤍

YMCA Basingstoke Nursery is brand new — and we're looking for early years practitioners across our baby, toddler, and pre-school rooms. Whether it's a baby reaching for you for the first time, a toddler's wobbly first steps, or a pre-schooler proudly telling you their entire weekend in painstaking detail — if these are the moments that make your job worth doing, we want to meet you.

We're based right in the heart of Hounsome Fields, a thriving new community in Basingstoke, and we're building something special here — brand-new facilities, a blank canvas, and the chance to help shape real quality childcare for local families from day one.
If you love working with little ones — at any age and stage — we'd love to hear from you.

📩 Message us today to find out more about our current opportunities. 07514 667 160 or [email protected]

Is your little astronaut getting ready for big school? 👩‍🚀🚀

At our new nursery, we’ll be supporting children as they build confidence, independence, and all the little skills they’ll use on their journey to school ✨

Save this checklist and see some of the exciting “missions” your child will be working towards with us 💜

Because every child learns and develops at their own pace - and every little step matters.

Why is school readiness so important? 🚀

At YMCA, we believe little steps lead to giant leaps. Each small moment of learning helps build the confidence and independence children need to launch into “big school” and thrive.

Across all of our nurseries, school readiness is at the heart of everything we do - supporting every child to explore, grow, and thrive on their next big adventure✨

As part of our School Readiness focus across YMCA nurseries, mealtimes play an important role in helping children become confident, capable eaters 🍴

From table routines to using cutlery, these small steps help children make big leaps in independence, communication skills, and confidence as they prepare for the transition to “big school”.
