About The Mere Nature Kindergarten
The Mere Nature Kindergarten is a trusted and much-loved nursery set on one of Cheshire’s busiest commuter routes, making us perfectly placed for local families and those travelling to Manchester via the A556 or to Warrington via the A50. Our setting is beautifully designed to inspire learning, curiosity, and comfort.
We’re proud to hold the Green Flag Eco School Award, and our fantastic Eco Committee helps us grow fruit and vegetables in our allotment while leading initiatives that make our nursery—and the world—greener.
As a Level 2 Practitioner, you’ll thrive outdoors, joining our children as they explore the natural world, uncovering tiny treasures among the leaves and embracing hands-on, nature-rich learning every day.
Inclusion & Safeguarding
At Thrive, we celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for every member of our team. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, ages, and experiences. All roles are subject to enhanced DBS checks and regular safeguarding training.
