Job description

Are you an experienced early years professional with a passion for creating outstanding childcare environments? Do you value a warm, nurturing atmosphere where children are encouraged to explore, learn and thrive every day? If so, we would be delighted to welcome you into our nursery family. We are seeking a dedicated Nursery Manager, based within the heart of Ealing, to lead our team and help continue building an exceptional standard of early education and care.

Our nursery is built upon relationships - with children, parents and staff. We believe that a successful early years setting is one where children feel emotionally secure, curious, and excited to learn. We want a manager who not only understands this vision, but lives it. This role would best suit someone who is inspired by the opportunity to shape a nursery, support a talented team, and help drive continuous improvement.

As Nursery Manager, you will have the autonomy to implement creative ideas, encourage professional development among your team, and influence the overall direction of the setting. You will be responsible for supporting OFSTED standards, promoting safeguarding at all times, and ensuring that children and families receive the highest quality of care. More than anything, you will be a positive leader who brings energy, compassion and clarity to daily nursery life.

Salary & Benefits

• Up to £50,000
• Flexible working patterns supportive of your work-life balance
• A friendly, collaborative team environment
• Scope to develop your ideas and progress within the role

We Are Looking For Someone Who:

• Has strong experience within Early Years leadership
• Understands EYFS thoroughly and ensures it is embedded in practice
• Is confident mentoring staff and supporting their growth
• Builds strong, trusting relationships with families and the local community
• Brings creativity, organisation and a proactive approach

If you believe in inspiring children every day and want to lead a nursery where your voice makes a difference, we want to hear from you. Apply now and help shape the future of our Ealing nursery.
