About Us

At Woodlands Nursery School, we are proud to be an outdoor-inspired nursery, offering fantastic outdoor spaces alongside open-plan indoor environments that encourage exploration, curiosity and learning. We provide an inclusive, nurturing setting where every child is supported to learn through discovery, wonder and growth.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, experienced and passionate Toddler Room Lead to join our team. This is an exciting opportunity for a confident Early Years professional to lead our toddler room, creating an engaging, stimulating and caring environment for children aged 2–3 years.

The successful candidate will have a strong understanding of child development, experience working within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), and the confidence to lead a small team while maintaining high standards of care and education. You will be passionate about child-led learning, outdoor play and creating meaningful learning opportunities that help every child thrive.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the day-to-day running of the toddler room, ensuring high standards of care, learning and wellbeing.
Create a safe, stimulating and inclusive environment that supports children's cognitive, physical, social, emotional and language development.
Plan and deliver exciting, child-led learning experiences in line with the EYFS, making the most of our outdoor environment.
Observe, assess and monitor children's progress, ensuring records and learning journeys are accurate and meaningful.
Support children with their individual needs, working closely with families and professionals where appropriate.
Build positive, professional relationships with parents and carers, sharing information about children's development and wellbeing.
Lead, motivate and support room staff, acting as a positive role model and promoting good practice throughout the team.
Ensure safeguarding, health and safety, and nursery policies are followed at all times.
Contribute to creating an environment where children feel secure, valued and inspired to learn.
Support the Nursery Management Team in maintaining high standards across the setting and contributing to continuous improvement.

What We're Looking For

Level 3 Early Years qualification (or above).
Experience working within an Early Years setting, ideally with toddlers.
Previous experience leading a room or mentoring staff is desirable.
A sound knowledge of the EYFS, safeguarding and child development.
Excellent communication and organisational skills.
A warm, positive and proactive approach.
A genuine passion for outdoor learning and supporting children to become confident, independent learners.

If you're passionate about making a real difference in children's lives and would like to be part of a friendly, supportive team, we'd love to hear from you.
