Playscheme Manager – Long Ditton Infant and Nursery School, Surbiton

Lead the afternoons. Champion early years. Make afterschool feel special.

Do you love working with younger children and leading a team in a warm, playful environment? We’re looking for a Playscheme Manager to lead our afterschool provision for Pre-School and Reception children at Long Ditton Infant & Nursery School.

This is a hands‑on leadership role, perfect for someone who thrives in early years settings and enjoys shaping calm, engaging afternoons after a busy school day. You’ll work alongside another Playscheme Manager, who leads the Year 1 & 2 cohort, with shared responsibility for creating a safe, happy, and inspiring club.

At Clubland, we’re a small, family‑run childcare provider passionate about high‑quality wraparound care. Our managers are central to everything we do – trusted leaders who bring warmth, structure, and creativity to each session.

The Role

  • Lead the early years experience – Plan and oversee child‑led play, creative activities, quiet zones, outdoor play, and routines suited to Pre‑School and Reception children.
  • Support and inspire your team – Lead and support Playworkers working with younger children, setting the tone for a nurturing, engaging, and well‑organised environment.
  • Keep it safe & well‑run – Take responsibility for safeguarding, health & safety, risk assessments, ratios, and smooth daily operations within your cohort.
  • Build strong relationships – Work closely with parents, carers, school staff, and your fellow Playscheme Manager to ensure consistent, high‑quality care.
  • Stay organised – Support with staff rotas, stock checks, and light administrative tasks (around 1 hour per week, paid as overtime).

About You

We’re looking for someone who is:

  • Warm, calm, and confident working with Pre‑School & Reception children
  • An experienced childcare professional with leadership skills
  • Organised, reliable, and able to run sessions independently
  • A strong communicator with staff, parents, and school teams
  • Passionate about safeguarding and high‑quality early years care

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Paediatric First Aid
  • Safeguarding or Food Hygiene training
  • Experience with EYFS and early years settings
    (Full training provided if needed)

The Practical Bits

  • Location: Long Ditton Infant & Nursery School, Surbiton, Surrey
  • Hours: Afterschool Club 14:30–18:15, Monday‑Friday (term time only). Option of extra work in holiday clubs. Job share available.
  • Contract: Permanent, fixed hours
  • Pay: £15.80/hr starting rate, plus 12.07% holiday pay uplift (total £17.70/hr). Pay increases with training and years of service.
  • Training: First Aid and Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead training included and paid for.

We know this role is demanding but also hugely rewarding. That’s why we look after our staff with:

  • 75% discount on childcare for your dependants (10% for wider family)
  • 28 days paid annual leave
  • Free uniform, DBS, and training
  • Employee Assistance Programme via Health Assured
  • Refer‑a‑Friend bonus
  • Discounted gym membership
  • A supportive, friendly, family‑run environment where your ideas matter

We are committed to safeguarding children and expect all staff to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be required to complete an enhanced DBS check.

👉 Ready to lead calm, happy afternoons for our youngest children? Apply now and become a key part of a supportive leadership team at Clubland.

Four of our settings are currently graded ‘Good’. For OFSTED inspection grades at specific settings please see individual location pages.
