£32,500 per year | 40 Hours per Week Across 5 Days
Toddlers bring plenty of personality, curiosity and energy to the nursery day – so this room needs a leader who can bring that same energy and turn it into exciting opportunities to learn and develop.
This is an exciting time to join a growing nursery, with the opportunity to take ownership of the Toddler Room and really put your stamp on how it develops. You’ll have the freedom to bring ideas to the room, support your team and create an environment that encourages toddlers to explore, communicate and become increasingly independent.
Ideally, we’re looking for someone with previous Room Leader or senior Early Years experience, although a strong Level 3 Practitioner who is ready to step into their first leadership position will also be considered.

All appointments are subject to safer recruitment requirements, including an enhanced DBS check, satisfactory references, and verification of the right to work in the UK, in line with safeguarding responsibilities.
