✨ EXCITING OPPORTUNITY – JOIN STORY SENSE ✨

I am looking for a passionate, confident and motivated class leader to join me in running Story Sense sessions!

I am on the hunt for someone to help bring the magic of Story Sense to even more children across the Torbay and Totnes areas 🌿📚

This is a self-employed role, starting on a part-time basis, with the potential to grow as the sessions expand across community settings including schools, preschools, nurseries, and even care homes.

I am looking for someone who truly loves working with children and feels confident stepping into the spotlight to lead engaging, interactive sessions.

✨ What I’m looking for:

* DBS checked (or willing to obtain one)
* A genuine passion for working with children
* Confident in leading a class session / being centre stage
* Hard working, motivated, and reliable
* Approachable and warm with children and adults
* Able to think on your feet and adapt when needed
* Works well under pressure
* Flexible and open to varied working hours
* Full UK driving licence preferred

This is a brilliant opportunity for the right person to be part of something creative, meaningful, and growing—helping to spread storytelling, imagination, and early learning experiences to even more children.

Could you be the person I’m looking for? 🌟

If this sounds like you, I would love to hear from you.

🤍A new chapter for little bean🤍

After a lot of thought, I’ve made the decision to transition little bean into a dedicated early years childminding setting.

Creating Little bean play cafe has been amazing and I’m incredibly grateful to every family who has visited and supported the cafe over the past months. Watching little ones play, explore and grow in this space has been the most rewarding part of the journey.

Over time, I have realised that the part I feel most passionate about is being hands on with the children, creating a calm nurturing environment, and supporting little ones more closely through their early years.

I am in the process of registering with Ofsted to offer small scale childcare from the setting Monday to Friday.

I have a primary teaching degree , years of nannying experience with children 0-12 years old, time in an early years setting and I was a SEN teacher for children aged 10-14 years old.
I am so excited to now have the opportunity to offer a home from home childcare environment here at little bean 🤍

If you are currently looking for a child- led, nurturing, safe childcare setting in Dawlish, please feel free to pop me a message or comment below to register your interest.

Thank you again for all your support, and kindness along my journey🫶
