About the role
We’re looking for a friendly, organised and enthusiastic Nursery Administrator to join our team at Sunny Days.
Our nursery teams work hard to create happy, nurturing places where children can learn, play and flourish. Behind the scenes, our administrators play an equally important role, supporting our teams, welcoming families and making sure everything runs smoothly.
Working closely with our Administration Manager and Nursery Managers, you’ll be involved in everything from answering enquiries and maintaining records to managing invoices and supporting childcare funding.
It’s a varied and rewarding role where your organisational skills, attention to detail and friendly approach will make a real difference every day.
What we’re looking for
We look for people who share our core values:
SMILE – positive, friendly and approachable
STRIVE – open to learning, resilient, high expectations
SAFE – committed to safeguarding and wellbeing
Knowledge & Experience
- Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities.
- A friendly, professional manner and strong communication skills.
- Good attention to detail, particularly when working with records and figures.
- Confidence using Microsoft Office and a willingness to learn new software.
- The ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- An understanding of the importance of confidentiality and handling sensitive information.
- A positive, flexible attitude and a willingness to get stuck in.
No formal qualifications are required – we’re looking for someone with the right attitude, skills and enthusiasm to become a valued part of our team.
What you’ll be doing
No two days are quite the same at Sunny Days, but you can expect to:
- Be a friendly first point of contact for families, answering calls, responding to enquiries and providing helpful information.
- Maintain accurate children’s records, family details and booked sessions using our nursery management software.
- Raise invoices, record payments and help monitor outstanding balances.
- Prepare accurate and timely local authority childcare funding returns.
- Support diary management, arrange meetings, prepare documents and take minutes.
- Help keep our nurseries running smoothly by managing office supplies and nursery uniforms.
- Handle sensitive information with care, maintaining accurate, secure and confidential records.
- Work closely with the Administration Manager and Nursery Managers, providing practical support wherever it’s needed.
