Job description

Overview

Deputy Nursery Manager (Pathway to Full Nursery Manager) – Banana Moon Croydon. This pioneering position is designed for childcare practitioners who are beginning to explore leadership through roles such as Room Leader, Third in Charge, or Assistant Manager. The role emphasises a growth mindset over prior management tenure, focusing on candidates who demonstrate the drive to advance their careers through continuous learning and adaptability.

The successful applicant will join the management team and gradually assume managerial duties while receiving tailored coaching in operational, pedagogical, and business management domains. This bespoke role offers a structured six‑month development pathway, combining hands‑on mentorship, franchise‑led training, and incremental responsibilities to prepare the candidate for a full Nursery Manager position.

Responsibilities

  • Join the management team and gradually assume managerial duties with tailored coaching in operational, pedagogical, and business management domains.
  • Participate in a structured six‑month development pathway with hands‑on mentorship, franchise‑led training, and incremental responsibilities to prepare for a full Nursery Manager position.
  • Balance operational demands (e.g., Ofsted compliance, parent inquiries) with strategic development goals while supporting the team.
  • Engage in ongoing learning and professional development to enhance leadership capabilities and staff development.

Qualifications

  • Level 3 Early Years Qualification per the Department of Education's approved list, with a proven track record in delivering high‑quality childcare
  • Minimum three years' post‑qualification experience, including at least one year in a leadership capacity (e.g., Room Leader, Deputy, or Third in Charge roles)
  • Progression‑Oriented Mindset: Demonstrated through voluntary uptake of training, mentorship of junior staff, or initiatives to improve practice in previous roles
  • Resilience Under Pressure: Ability to balance operational demands with strategic development goals
  • Innovative Problem‑Solving: Examples might include redesigning learning environments for enhanced engagement or implementing behaviour management strategies that reduce staff turnover

Benefits

  • Salary: £35,000 starting salary, reviewed upon promotion with a performance‑linked increase
  • Annual Leave: 20 days plus bank holidays, increasing by one day per year of service up to 25 days
  • Wellbeing Support: Access to a 24/7 employee assistance program, including in‑house support
  • Career Incentives: Fully funded Level 5 Leadership qualification upon successful promotion
