A newly refreshed nursery brings fresh opportunities – not only for the children who learn there, but for the team helping to shape what happens every day.
This recently refurbished nursery offers stimulating indoor environments designed to encourage children to explore, play and develop with confidence. Outside, the large, well‑resourced garden gives children plenty of room to be active, build their physical skills and enjoy outdoor learning as a natural part of their day.

- Strong knowledge of the EYFS, safeguarding and Ofsted requirements
- Confidence leading, supporting and developing nursery practitioners
- Experience maintaining high standards across Early Years environments
- Strong organisational and communication skills
- A positive, hands‑on approach to leadership
What You’ll Receive
- £32,000 per year
- Discounted childcare
- Your birthday off
- Competitive annual leave
- Enhanced parental leave
- Training and development opportunities
Your Role
- Support the Nursery Manager with the day‑to‑day leadership of the setting
- Provide a visible, supportive presence for practitioners across the nursery
- Help lead, motivate and develop the Early Years team
- Support the delivery of high‑quality care and education in line with the EYFS
