Shape the Future from Day One
Imagine stepping into a brand-new nursery where your leadership, ideas, and expertise help shape the foundations of something exceptional.
At Canopy Nursery, we are creating a high-quality, nurturing environment from the ground up - and we are looking for an inspiring, experienced, dedicated Deputy Manager, and passionate Room Leaders to join us on this exciting journey.
This is a unique opportunity to be part of a purpose-built early years setting, working collaboratively with the Canopy Operations Team and wider leadership structure to create a setting that truly stands out.
The nursery is due to open in February 2027, with staff inductions and training beginning in January 2027, giving you the opportunity to be fully involved in shaping the environment, team culture, and practice from the very start.
We are seeking experienced and motivated professionals who are ready for a new challenge - individuals who thrive in leadership roles, enjoy developing others, and are excited by the opportunity to build something from the very beginning.
