Nursery & Teaching Assistant Jobs in Hounslow

Quint Education places nursery, teaching assistant and SEN staff across the London Borough of Hounslow — Hounslow, Isleworth, Brentford, Feltham, Chiswick and the surrounding area. Bank cover, term-time, temporary and permanent, for day nurseries, primary schools and specialist settings.

Nurseries and schools in Hounslow

Hounslow is one of the more varied boroughs to staff, because it is really several markets in one. Chiswick in the east is a different proposition from Feltham and Bedfont in the west — different fee levels, different parent expectations, different pay for the same job title.

The western end of the borough sits close to Heathrow, which shapes the hours settings need to open. The eastern end, around Chiswick and Brentford, behaves more like inner west London. We do not treat a booking in Feltham and a booking in Chiswick as the same brief, because the candidates who thrive in each are rarely the same people.

Tell us the role, the dates and the setting. For urgent and day-to-day cover we work to a 15-minute callback, so you find out quickly whether the role can be filled rather than waiting without an answer.

Where we work in Hounslow

We cover the whole borough. In practice most of our work sits around:

Hounslow, Heston and Cranford
Isleworth and Osterley
Brentford and Syon
Chiswick and Grove Park
Feltham, Hanworth and Bedfont
Lampton and Spring Grove

The Piccadilly line runs through Hounslow East, Central and West and out to Osterley and Boston Manor; the District line covers Chiswick Park and Turnham Green; and South Western Railway serves Feltham, Isleworth and Brentford. Transport is uneven across the borough, so we match on realistic travel rather than map distance — Feltham to Chiswick looks short and is not.

Roles we recruit for

Setting	Roles
Day nurseries and preschools	Nursery practitioners, room leaders, deputy and nursery managers, nursery assistants, bank staff
Primary and infant schools	Teaching assistants, 1:1 and SEN support, cover supervisors, lunchtime and after-school staff
Specialist SEN provision	SEN teaching assistants, SEN class teachers, support workers for ASC, SLD and MLD settings
Wraparound and holiday clubs	Playworkers, club leaders, breakfast and after-school club staff
Kitchen and support	Nursery cooks, kitchen assistants, cleaners and caretaking

Three ways we recruit

Bank and day-to-day cover. Sickness, training days and sudden gaps. Staff who are already checked and briefed, so they can walk in and work.

Term-time and temporary. Longer bookings covering maternity leave, a vacancy you are still recruiting to, or a funded place that has pushed your ratios.

Permanent. Shortlists for roles you want filled properly, with candidates who have been interviewed rather than forwarded.

Compliance, done before the candidate arrives

Every person we put forward is DBS checked and referenced before they reach you, and the written confirmation comes with them for your single central record. We work to the current EYFS requirements and to Keeping Children Safe in Education, including the changes that took effect in September 2026.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover the whole of Hounslow?

Yes — from Chiswick and Brentford in the east through Isleworth and Hounslow itself out to Feltham, Hanworth and Bedfont. We also work across neighbouring Richmond, Ealing and Hillingdon, so a setting near a borough boundary is no obstacle.

How quickly can you cover a last-minute absence?

For urgent cover we work to a 15-minute callback. That is a callback rather than a promise of a placement — you find out quickly whether the role can be filled, so you can make other arrangements if it cannot.

Can you supply staff for extended-day settings near Heathrow?

Yes. Settings in the west of the borough often run early starts and late finishes to fit local shift patterns. Give us the actual hours at the point of booking and we will match on genuine availability rather than sending someone who can only cover the middle of the day.

Are your staff DBS checked before they arrive?

Yes. Every candidate is DBS checked and referenced before they reach you, and the written confirmation travels with them for your single central record.

Do you supply SEN staff in Hounslow?

Yes — SEN teaching assistants, 1:1 support and SEN class teachers, including in specialist provision. If a role needs specific training such as Team Teach or PRICE, tell us when you book and we will match accordingly.

I live in Hounslow and want nursery or school work. Where do I start?

Register through our online form. Once you are registered and checked we will match you to settings that suit your experience, your travel and the hours you actually want. There is no obligation to accept a booking that does not suit you.

Does pay vary across the borough?

It can. Rates reflect the setting, the role and the hours rather than the postcode alone, but there is a real spread across Hounslow. Our guides to teaching assistant pay and Level 3 early years pay explain how rates are actually built up, including why an advertised full-time-equivalent figure is not what a term-time employee takes home.

Whether you need staff or a role. For urgent cover we work to a 15-minute callback. For candidates, register once and we will match you to settings that suit your experience.
