About the Role

We are delighted to be partnering with a respected Early Years provider to recruit a passionate and experienced Nursery Manager for their exceptional, purpose-built setting. This is an exciting opportunity for an inspiring leader dedicated to delivering outstanding childcare, driving team success, and creating a nurturing environment where children can thrive.

Our nursery offers a warm, nurturing environment with three well-equipped rooms: a Baby Room (0–2 years), Toddler Room (2–3 years), and Preschool Room (3–5 years). Set in a charming rural setting, the nursery provides enriching learning opportunities that encourage children to explore their interests and develop their unique talents.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Supportive, values-led organisation with excellent career development
  • Strong benefits package, including welcome bonus and enhanced holiday
  • Purpose-built setting with a committed, well-trained team
  • Chance to drive positive outcomes and continuous improvement

What Are Your Key Responsibilities?

  • Leading and motivating your team to uphold excellent standards
  • Ensuring delivery of an engaging, developmentally appropriate curriculum
  • Overseeing staffing, budgeting, compliance, and daily operations
  • Building strong relationships with families and external partners
  • Maintaining high standards in line with EYFS and regulatory requirements
  • Driving ongoing professional development and reflective practice

Who Are We Looking For?

  • Level 3 Early Years qualification or above
  • Experience in a leadership role within an early years setting
  • Strong knowledge of EYFS, safeguarding, and compliance
  • Confident leadership, communication, and organisational skills
  • A proactive, positive approach and commitment to improving outcomes

What’s In It for You?

  • Free first month of childcare and 52% staff discount
  • 33 days holiday, including bank holidays, Christmas closure, and your birthday off
  • Discretionary annual bonus
  • Self-Space mental health workshops and wellbeing support
  • Training via The National College
  • Perkbox discounts, long-service awards, and refer-a-friend bonuses
  • 1 paid volunteer day per year
  • £500 welcome bonus

If you’re a motivated and enthusiastic leader ready to make a meaningful impact in a high-quality nursery, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now to take the next exciting step in your Nursery Management career.
