Full job description

About the Role:
Sheffield has a strong tradition of care, community, and education—and at BrightNest Childcare & Learning Services Ltd, we bring that same standard into early years education. We are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

We are looking for a Senior Room Leader (Early Years Practitioner) who can take ownership of a nursery room and lead a small team of practitioners with confidence and care. You will not just be supervising daily routines—you will be shaping the learning environment, guiding practice, and ensuring high-quality early years experiences for every child in your care.

You are the link between children, staff, and parents, ensuring that learning is structured, engaging, and delivered to EYFS standards while maintaining a warm and supportive atmosphere.

Why Work With Us?
Supportive Environment: We believe childcare professionals do their best work in calm, well-structured settings where teamwork comes first and leadership is approachable and present.

Career Progression: This is a senior role with genuine opportunities to progress into Deputy Room Leader or Nursery Management positions as the setting grows.

Structured Practice: We work in line with the EYFS framework with clear routines, planning systems, and documentation processes that support consistency and quality.

Work-Life Balance: A predictable Monday–Friday schedule with no overnight shifts ensures stability and routine.

Professional Growth: Ongoing training and development opportunities are encouraged, supporting both mandatory qualifications and specialist early years skills.

Key Responsibilities:

Room Leadership: Take responsibility for the daily running of a designated nursery room, ensuring a safe, engaging, and well-organised environment.

Early Years Delivery: Plan and deliver age-appropriate activities aligned with EYFS outcomes, supporting cognitive, emotional, and social development.

Team Supervision: Lead, support, and mentor Early Years Practitioners and assistants, ensuring consistent practice and high standards of care.

Child Development Tracking: Carry out observations, assessments, and learning journals to monitor progress and identify developmental needs.

Safeguarding & Compliance: Ensure all safeguarding procedures, health & safety requirements, and nursery policies are strictly followed.

Parental Engagement: Build strong relationships with parents and carers, providing clear communication on child progress and wellbeing.

Quality Assurance: Maintain high standards of cleanliness, organisation, and learning environment quality within the room.

What We Are Looking For:

Experience: Minimum 2–3 years in an Early Years / Nursery environment, with experience in a Room Leader, Senior Practitioner, or similar role preferred.

Qualification: Level 3 or above in Early Years Education / Childcare (essential).

Knowledge: Strong understanding of the EYFS framework and child development principles.

Leadership Ability: Confident in leading small teams, delegating tasks, and supporting colleagues in daily practice.

Communication: Strong interpersonal skills when working with children, staff, and parents.

Professionalism: Reliable, organised, and committed to maintaining high standards of care and safeguarding.

Compliance: Enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain) and willingness to undertake further training where required.

Pay: £34,420.00-£39,399.97 per year

Benefits:

Company pension
Flexitime
Health & wellbeing programme
Paid volunteer time
Work from home

Work Location: Hybrid remote in Sheffield S11 8NW
