Job description

Are you a passionate early years leader who brings energy, enthusiasm and a little bit of magic to everything you do? We’re looking for an inspiring Nursery Manager to lead our fantastic team at Wickersley Nursery!

This is your chance to make a real difference every single day — creating a nursery where children feel safe, loved, confident and excited to learn, and where staff feel supported, valued and inspired to be their best.

What will you be doing?

Leading the way – motivating, supporting and developing your team to deliver their very best.

Making learning magical – championing an exciting, inclusive curriculum where children can explore, discover, create and thrive.

Putting children first – ensuring every child is safe, happy, listened to and given the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Building relationships – working closely with families and creating a welcoming nursery community where everyone feels part of the journey.

Keeping standards high – leading on safeguarding, EYFS, Ofsted readiness and quality improvement, making sure the nursery is always moving forward.

Making things happen – managing staffing, occupancy, budgets and the day-to-day running of the nursery while bringing fresh ideas and a positive approach.

Who are we looking for?

Someone who leads with heart, inspires others, embraces challenges and isn't afraid to get stuck in! You'll be organised, creative, confident in your leadership and passionate about giving children the very best start in life.

Most importantly, you'll understand that a nursery is about so much more than routines and paperwork — it's about relationships, laughter, learning, muddy wellies, messy play and making memories.

At Wickersley Nursery, our ethos is “Active in Mind, Body and Heart” — and we want a Manager who brings that to life every day.
