Job Description:
Established in 1965, our nursery has been a staple of the local community for generations. We are a warm, inviting, and community-led setting that prides itself on providing a "home away from home" for our children. With a capacity of 46 (typically averaging 38-40 daily), we are small enough to feel like a family, but busy enough to keep you on your toes!
The Role
We are looking for a dedicated and experienced Nursery Manager to oversee the day-to-day running of our setting. You won’t be flying solo, you will be supported by a dedicated Admin Assistant for parent enquiries and Sarah, our finance lead, who handles the heavy lifting on the accounts.

*Pay: £30,000 - £33,000 (Pro Rata) depending on experience
*Shifts: The nursery operates 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM (we are open to discussing flexible start/finish times).
*The Team: You will lead a passionate team of 22 staff (including many part-time members).
*Operation: We run year-round, including term time and our popular holiday club.
What You’ll Bring to the TableTo keep our nursery thriving, you’ll need to hit the ground running with the following:
*Qualifications: Level 3 Early Years qualification (minimum).
*Experience: At least 2 years of post-qualification experience in a leadership role.
*Safety First: Must be DSL (Designated Safeguarding Lead) qualified and hold a current Paediatric First Aid certificate.
*Character: A community-focused mindset with the ability to lead a diverse team with empathy and with empathy and wit.
Key Responsibilities
**Overseeing the daily operations and ensuring Ofsted compliance.
*Mentoring and managing our team of 22 staff.
*Maintaining a safe, nurturing environment for up to 46 children.
*Liaising with the admin and finance teams to ensure smooth communication and reporting.
Why Join Us?
*Ease into the role: We offer a shadowing period until September to ensure you feel confident and settled.
*Support System: No more drowning in spreadsheets or endless parent phone as we have dedicated support staff for that.
*Stability: A minimum 6-month contract with a competitive salary in a long-standing, respected setting.
