Nursery jobs in Bedfordshire

About nursery education in Bedfordshire

Nursery settings in Bedfordshire — 160 registered nurseries and early years settings in total — book supply staff throughout the academic year. Early years settings book cover at short notice, so practitioners who keep their availability up to date are usually the first to be offered work. Together, Bedfordshire's schools and nurseries educate around 95,000 children, and that scale keeps nursery cover requests coming in every week of term.

You will plan and lead play-based activities, record learning journeys, and support children through settling-in, sleep and mealtimes alongside the permanent team. Bookings come from across the city and surrounding areas including Bedford, Luton and Dunstable, so you can filter for nurseries and pre-schools within a comfortable commute.

Working across several nurseries builds a broad EYFS portfolio that strengthens applications for senior early years roles. Our Milton Keynes team knows these settings personally, so you get an honest picture of the school or nursery before you accept a booking, plus rates confirmed up front in the app.

Bedfordshire encompasses nearly 380 schools and nurseries across Bedford Borough, Central Bedfordshire and Luton, educating over 95,000 children. The county's diverse geography includes market towns, new developments and established suburbs.
