Educator for the toddler group at Børnehuset Nøddehøj

Pedagogue for the nursery at Børnehuset Nøddehøj

Do you want to help develop strong learning environments for the youngest children?

Are you professionally passionate about working with nursery children in an environment where language, nature, curiosity and development go hand in hand? And where strong parent collaboration is as important as muddy rubber boots, shared experiences and laughter at child level?

Then it might be you we are looking for for our nursery at Børnehuset Nøddehøj.

We are seeking a pedagogue with a start date of 1 November 2026. With us you will have the opportunity to become part of a developing children's house where we together work purposefully to create high pedagogical quality and strong learning environments for all children.

Welcome to Børnehuset Nøddehøj

Nøddehøj is a municipal day care in Årslev and part of the North Child Area.

We are located in green surroundings just a few kilometres from Odense. Nøddehøj is a lively children’s house characterized by presence, community and learning. Here there are 20 nursery children and 45 kindergarten children who together create a versatile and inspiring child environment.

Within walking distance we have a library, gym, schools, path networks and beautiful nature with forest, fields, bog, and stream. It gives us many opportunities to create sensory, curious and learning experiences together with the children.

Everyday life with us is brought to life through play

Our pedagogical work starts from the Strengthened Pedagogical Curriculum, where play is the natural focal point.

We deliberately work with both child- and adult-initiated activities in inspiring learning environments, where language, sensorimotor development, relationships, aesthetics and imagination have room to unfold.

At Nøddehøj we are focused on developing pedagogical quality through reflection, dialogue and shared learning. We work to create a culture where all employees contribute with perspectives and ideas, and where professional development is a natural part of everyday life.

We are therefore seeking a pedagogue who wants to be an active part of our continued development journey and who sees value in developing practice together with colleagues.

What characterizes us

For us, developing pedagogical quality in collaboration is important. We believe that the best solutions are created through dialogue, reflection and a shared responsibility for the core task. Therefore we do not expect you to have all the answers. Instead, we hope you are curious, contribute with your perspectives and want to develop practice together with us.

We strive to be known for high professionalism, strong relationships and inclusive communities for children, staff and parents.

Decency, respect and clear communication are fundamental values in our collaboration. We believe we succeed best when we are curious about each other, take shared responsibility and actively contribute to the community.

We place particular emphasis on

• presence, safety and strong relationships
• recognition and respect for differences
• decency as well as open and clear communication
• inclusive learning environments with room for creativity, play, learning and spontaneity
• a close and trusting parent collaboration
• diversity as a strength in the community

We dream of a colleague who

• sees the world from a child’s perspective and meets the children with warmth, curiosity and presence
• is proud of their pedagogical profession and wants to make a difference for the youngest children
• dares to follow the children’s initiatives and at the same time create clear and safe boundaries
• can work independently and take responsibility for pedagogical decisions
• wants to collaborate closely with colleagues, parents and cross-disciplinary partners
• is familiar with documentation and reflection on their own practice
• contributes positively to the community and the development of our learning environments
• contributes to working from the premise that Nøddehøj is a community house with shared responsibility

With us you get

• a lively kindergarten house filled with presence, nature and community
• engaged colleagues with high ambitions on behalf of the children
• opportunity to influence both culture, direction and pedagogical practice
• a workplace focused on professional development and reflection
• a close and respectful collaboration with the parents
• a daily life with room for humor, job satisfaction and diversity
• an opportunity to help shape the future of Nøddehøj
