We’re not your typical childcare centres; we’re a group of innovative thinkers and committed lifelong learners. We’re on a mission to do things a bit differently (and better) than the rest, and we’re looking for a help lead the charge. We are looking for an experienced and commercially minded Service Director to lead our Croydon service and continue building on its strong foundations.

We don’t just offer a job; we’re offering a rare opportunity for you to thrive, grow, and make a meaningful impact on the lives of children as part of our incredible team. At Choklits, we’re not just about childcare, we’re about building something truly special in early childhood education. We’re pushing the boundaries of what quality early learning looks and feels like, building careers and creating a brighter future along the way.

If you’re ready to take your coaching and leadership skills to new heights, then read on, we could be redefining what’s possible in early childhood education, together.

Croydon is a large, established service with strong occupancy, an experienced educator team, high family and educator retention, established systems and processes, and a strong reputation within its community.

We are looking for an experienced Director who can confidently lead a large team, understand the operational and commercial side of early childhood education and care, and maintain high standards across people, pedagogy, compliance, family experience and business performance.

You won’t be expected to walk in and figure everything out yourself. A comprehensive onboarding and handover process will be provided with our existing Service Director, alongside ongoing support from our Area Manager and broader leadership team.
