Take the next step into a leadership role where you can continue working directly with children while helping to shape the success of a thriving nursery.

This Good Ofsted-rated nursery is looking for an experienced Level 3 Deputy Nursery Manager to support the Nursery Manager in leading a dedicated team and maintaining exceptional standards of care and education. This is a room-based position with dedicated office time, giving you the opportunity to combine hands-on practice with leadership and operational responsibilities.

The nursery offers bright, spacious learning environments, cosy areas where children feel safe and secure, and a beautiful outdoor garden that encourages exploration, creativity, and a love of learning. It's a welcoming setting where both children and practitioners are supported to grow and flourish.

What We’re Looking For

  • Level 3 Early Years qualification (or equivalent).
  • Previous experience in a senior early years role.
  • Experience as a Deputy Nursery Manager is desirable; experienced Room Leaders or Third in Charge candidates looking to progress are also encouraged to apply.
  • Strong knowledge of the EYFS framework and safeguarding requirements.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and organisational skills.
  • A positive, supportive approach with a genuine passion for developing both children and colleagues.

Benefits

  • £32,600 per year
  • 40-hour permanent contract
  • Long service awards
  • Pension scheme
  • Ongoing training and development opportunities
  • Annual leave that increases with length of service
  • Discounted childcare
  • Staff incentives and recognition schemes
  • Wellbeing support and employee wellbeing programme

Deputy Nursery Manager Responsibilities

  • Support the Nursery Manager with the day-to-day running of the nursery.
  • Lead your room, ensuring exceptional standards of care, learning, and wellbeing.
  • Provide guidance, mentoring, and support to practitioners within the nursery.
  • Complete a range of office-based duties, including administration, staff support, and operational tasks.
  • Ensure compliance with the EYFS framework, safeguarding legislation, and nursery policies.
  • Build positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues.
  • Observe and monitor the quality of practice, supporting continuous improvement throughout the nursery.
  • Take responsibility for the nursery in the Manager's absence when required.

All appointments are subject to safer recruitment requirements, including an enhanced DBS check, satisfactory references, and verification of the right to work in the UK, in line with safeguarding responsibilities.
