ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Senior Nursery Manager, you will be instrumental in creating a safe, educational, and enjoyable environment for children. Your duties will include supervising children, ensuring their safety, and organising activities such as games, crafts, and educational tasks. While some days may be challenging, you’ll also experience joy, laughter, and make lasting memories with the children during this crucial stage of their development.

You will join a dedicated team passionate about providing care, warmth, and kindness. The nursery is purpose-built and Ofsted registered for up to 104 children, from 3 months to five years. It operates Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm, for 50 weeks of the year, closing for 2 weeks over the Christmas period. 

BENEFITS

Working in the childcare industry is incredibly rewarding. You will play an important part in the children’s lives, watching them grow and develop while learning new things yourself each day. The company believes in an environmentally sustainable and socially responsible world, aiming to educate today’s children to influence future generations.
