Experience: Proven management experience within an Early Years setting (as a Nursery Manager or an experienced Deputy Manager looking to step up).
Qualifications: A minimum of a Level 3 qualification in Childcare/Early Years (Level 4 or a Degree is highly desirable).
Mindset: A flexible, proactive attitude with a genuine willingness to roll up your sleeves and support the team wherever needed.
Passion: A shared passion for delivering outstanding childcare and creating a fun, stimulating environment for children.
Knowledge: Up -to -date, robust knowledge of the EYFS, safeguarding procedures, and inspection frameworks.
Commercial Acumen: Strong business awareness with experience in managing occupancy, budgets, and driving local marketing efforts.
A competitive salary of £32,000 per year.
The chance to lead a nursery with an unrivalled outdoor area and a fantastic local reputation.
A supportive, warm, and genuinely friendly working environment.
Excellent opportunities for professional growth and development.
If you have the management experience we need and a passion for all -around nursery excellence, we would love to hear from you.
