We’re Looking for a Kitchen Superstar!

Kitchen Manager (Nursery Setting)

Where Food Meets Fun!

Do you love cooking wholesome food? Do you enjoy bringing smiles to little faces? Our client, a friendly, vibrant nursery, is searching for a Kitchen Manager who can whip up delicious meals, keep the kitchen sparkling, and sprinkle a little magic into every day!

This is the perfect role for someone who enjoys variety, creativity and a whole lot of happy chaos (the cute kind!).

What You’ll Be Cooking Up:
  • Daily Deliciousness
  • Prepare fresh, tasty, homemade meals and snacks for children aged 0–5.
  • Create exciting seasonal menus (think bright summer salads and cosy winter warmers!).
  • Serve meals to each room—yes, you’ll be the daily hero arriving with the food trolley!
Allergy-Friendly Food Love
  • Whip up safe, individually prepared meals for children with allergies.
  • Ensure every child gets exactly what they need to enjoy lunch safely.
Special Treats & Big Smiles
  • Make fun treats for events—gingerbread men? Hot chocolate for parents? Bring it on!
  • Make a few cuppas for the hardworking staff along the way.
Stock, Shop & Stay Organised
  • Keep the kitchen stocked and ready, planning weekly shopping lists and placing online orders.
  • Maintain food safety records (yes, we’re responsible and fun).
Kitchen Wizardry
  • Keep the kitchen and utility areas sparkling clean.
  • Load/unload the dishwasher, clean appliances, mop floors, tidy cupboards—basically, make the kitchen glow.
  • Manage laundry like a pro—washed, dried, folded, done!
Kitchen Boss Mode
  • Make sure staff using the kitchen keep it as tidy as you do.
  • Own the space and keep everything running smoothly.
  • Plus anything else that keeps the kitchen humming!
Who We’re Looking For
  • Loves cooking and creating meals that make kids happy
  • Organised, reliable, upbeat and proactive
  • Enjoys working independently
  • Has kitchen or catering experience (bonus points if it’s with little ones!)
Why You’ll Love This Role
  • You’re not just cooking — you’re helping shape happy, healthy little humans.
  • Every day is different, full of creativity, fun and purpose!
Ready to Join the Fun?
