Do you believe puddle jumping is just as important as phonics? Can you lead a team while singing "The Wheels on the Bus" in perfect harmony?

We’re looking for a Deputy Nursery Manager who’s ready to bring joy, structure, and sparkle to our nursery! This is your chance to step into a key leadership role where you’ll shape young minds, inspire your team, and make magic happen every day.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Supporting the Nursery Manager in the smooth running of the nursery
  • Leading by example to create a warm, nurturing, and safe environment
  • Mentoring and motivating an amazing team of Early Years Practitioners
  • Taking charge in the Manager’s absence—cool, calm, collected (and maybe with a bit of glitter on your sleeve)
  • Building brilliant relationships with children, parents, and staff
  • Ensuring top-quality care and EYFS learning that’s as fun as it is effective
  • Keeping everything compliant, from safeguarding to snack time
About You
  • Level 3 or above in Early Years Education and Childcare (a must!)
  • Experience in a leadership or senior practitioner role
  • Confident, caring, and calm under pressure (even during a glitter explosion)
  • A passion for early years development and a belief in learning through play
  • Strong knowledge of EYFS, Ofsted requirements, and safeguarding best practice
  • A team player who leads with positivity, empathy, and enthusiasm
Why Join Us
  • A nurturing, supportive team that truly feels like family
  • Opportunities for career growth, leadership training & CPD
  • A fun, creative environment where no two days are the same
  • Employee perks, recognition schemes, and regular appreciation days
  • Oh—and you’ll never be bored. Ever.
