We're a small, independent, rural nursery with just 32 places, allowing us to provide truly personal, high-quality care and education for every child. Our experienced, long-standing staff team are at the heart of everything we do, and we're looking for an inspiring Nursery Manager to lead us into our next exciting chapter.

This isn't about managing numbers—it's about building relationships, supporting a passionate team, creating magical childhoods, and leading a nursery where every child is truly known and valued.

If you're an experienced Early Years leader looking for a role where you'll be trusted, respected and supported, we'd love to hear from you.

- Permanent, Full-Time

- Monday to Thursday

- 8:00am – 6:00pm

- 51 weeks per year

- Salary: £32,000 - £34,000 per annum (depending on experience)

Why you'll love working with us

✨ Every Friday off – enjoy a genuine work-life balance with a permanent four-day working week.

✨ Ongoing training and continuous professional development.

✨ Staff social events and days out.

✨ Free on-site parking.

✨ A genuine opportunity to shape the future of a growing independent nursery where your leadership will have a lasting impact.

About the Role

As Nursery Manager, you will have overall responsibility for the day-to-day leadership and management of the nursery, ensuring children receive exceptional care and education in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

You will lead by example, inspire your team, build positive relationships with families and ensure the nursery consistently meets and exceeds statutory requirements and quality standards.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll be actively involved in nursery life while driving continuous improvement across the setting.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead, motivate and inspire the nursery team to deliver exceptional childcare and early education.

- Ensure the nursery operates in full compliance with the EYFS Statutory Framework, Ofsted requirements and all relevant legislation.

- Promote the highest standards of safeguarding, child protection, health and safety, and children's welfare.

- Create a warm, nurturing and inclusive environment where every child can thrive.

- Lead staff recruitment, inductions, supervisions, appraisals and performance management.

- Support, coach and develop practitioners to achieve their full potential.

- Monitor the quality of teaching, learning and children's development.

- Build strong partnerships with parents, carers and external professionals.

- Maintain accurate records, policies and documentation.

- Ensure the nursery is always inspection ready.

- Support occupancy, admissions and the continued success of the nursery.

- Manage resources and budgets effectively.

- Drive continuous quality improvement across all areas of the nursery.

- Act as the Designated Safeguarding Lead (or be willing to undertake the relevant training).

What We're Looking For

Essential

- A full and relevant Level 3 Early Years qualification (Level 5 or above desirable).

- A minimum of 3 years' leadership experience as a Nursery Manager, Deputy Manager or equivalent senior role.

- Excellent knowledge of the EYFS Statutory Framework, safeguarding legislation and Ofsted requirements.

- Experience leading, motivating and developing teams.

- Strong organisational, communication and leadership skills.

- Experience conducting staff supervisions, appraisals and supporting staff development.

- A genuine passion for delivering exceptional childcare and education.

- An Enhanced DBS

- Paediatric First Aid qualification

You'll be someone who...

- Leads with kindness, confidence and professionalism.

- Builds strong, trusting relationships with children, families and colleagues.

- Inspires others to be the very best they can be.

- Enjoys being part of nursery life—not just behind a desk.

- Has high expectations and a genuine passion for continuous improvement.

- Wants to be part of something special and help shape the future of our nursery.

About Blooming Futures Daycare

Blooming Futures Daycare is a warm, welcoming, family-run nursery where children are known as individuals and staff are genuinely valued.

Our small size means we can offer a personal, caring environment where relationships come first. We're fortunate to have a dedicated, long-standing staff team who care deeply about what they do, and we're excited to welcome a manager who shares our values and vision.

If you're ready to leave the pressures of a large setting behind and lead a nursery where quality comes first, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today with your CV and a covering letter telling us why you'd be the perfect fit for Blooming Futures Daycare.

We're not looking for just any manager—we're looking for someone who shares our values, believes every child deserves the very best start in life, and wants to lead a nursery where people truly matter.
