✨ We’re Hiring! Kitchen & Housekeeping Assistant ✨

Looking for a job that’s a little more rewarding than the usual 9–5?

We’re on the lookout for an amazing Kitchen & Housekeeping Assistant to join our nursery family! ❤️

If you’re someone who loves creating a clean, welcoming space, enjoys preparing tasty meals and snacks, and doesn’t mind hearing the occasional chorus of giggles (or being challenged to a dinosaur race down the corridor 🦖), then we’d love to meet you!

Your role will include:

🍎 Preparing healthy meals and snacks
✨ Keeping our nursery clean, safe, and sparkling
🧼 Maintaining high standards of hygiene throughout the day
🤝 Supporting our friendly team to create the very best environment for our children

We’re looking for someone who is:

✔️ Reliable and hardworking
✔️ Friendly and positive
✔️ Organised and takes pride in their work
✔️ Happy working as part of a fun, supportive team

Why you’ll love working with us:

💛 No two days are ever the same
🎨 You’ll be surrounded by laughter, creativity, and plenty of little personalities
🎂 Birthday celebrations, messy play, story time, and the occasional dance party are all part of the job (don’t worry—we won’t ask you to lead the dance moves… unless you want to! 💃)

You don’t need nursery experience—we’re looking for someone with the right attitude, a great work ethic, and a smile.

Ready to join a workplace where what you do really matters?

📩 We’d love to hear from you!

I’m not even gonna sugarcoat it…

I’ve never felt stress like this in my life 😭

This shop is everything to me, but I can’t keep it going if things stay this quiet… and even typing that makes me feel sick 🫠

Last time I spoke up yous all showed up for me and the shop and website basically emptied… which was honestly amazing and I’ll never forget it 💗

But the reality is, I need steady — not just one big rush and then nothing after

I’m actually away this weekend with friends, so the shop’s closing at 1 today and won’t reopen until Monday…

And if I’m being honest, I don’t even feel like I can relax because all I can think about is missing out on a day and a half of potential income 😭
But then at the same time it’s been that quiet, would I even take anything in…

If the website could properly support the shop, that’s what will keep everything going — so I really need to push it out far and wide just now

So I’m just being honest again…

If you’ve been thinking about ordering, popping in before 1 today, or even just supporting the page — now really is the time

👉 A wee order
👉 A share
👉 Even just a like

It all makes more of a difference than you probably realise 🫶

I just want to keep this wee shop going

🌿✨ HELP NEEDED THIS SUNDAY! ✨🌿

We’re giving our nursery garden a big tidy up to get it ready for lots of outdoor fun ☀️🌼

We’re looking for someone with a forklift who could kindly spare a bit of time to help us move some large bags of sand and bark around the garden.

If you can help (or know someone who can), please drop us a message 💚

Thank you so much for your support — it really means a lot!

💙JOB OPPORTUNITY AVAILABLE 💙

We are looking for practitioners and modern apprentices to join our lovely team.

You must have a big smile that will make every child’s face light up each and every day.

Throughout the course of a morning you will have many varied roles; if a child requests you to be a Disney princess, you will be the best princess you can be!

The ability to sing in tune is not necessary, however the ability to sing out of tune, in front of a crowd of tiny humans is essential!

You must have so much love to offer and big warm hugs, as and when required.

Having eyes in the back of your head is of the utmost importance and so is having the skills to rapidly count the heads of numerous moving small people.

You must be comfortable with entering public places on your way home from work, with unknown substances on your clothing!

You must have the ability to read a story book upside down, with at least five interruptions per page!

And finally you must be prepared to engage in lots of fun activities and be prepared to get messy! Your hair and nails will be hard to maintain, but it really all is worth it!

If you’ve got what it takes give Danielle a call on 0131 665 4136 for more information or to receive an application form email Danielle at [email protected]

We look forward to hearing from you🤍

🌷 Garden Refresh Day – 19th April 🌷

After all the dull winter weather, we’re getting our gardens ready for the brighter spring and summer months! ☀️🌿

On 19th April we’ll be having a Garden Refresh Day to spruce up our outdoor spaces so the children can continue to enjoy exploring, playing and learning outside.

If anyone has a spare hour and would like to lend a helping hand, we would love to see you there! 🤝

We would also be incredibly grateful for any spare resources you may no longer need, such as paint, plant pots, garden decorations, or child-friendly outdoor items that could help brighten up our space. 🎨🪴

Thank you for your continued support — it means so much to our nursery community! 💚
