Full job description

Happy Hello! We are looking for a Nursery Leader (Nursery Manager) @ Happy Trails Play – Shinfield, Reading.

36–40 hours per week (We're happy to be flexible with the exact hours.)

Either...

An experienced Nursery Manager who wants the freedom, support and autonomy to lead an exceptional nursery.

Or...

A confident, high-performing Deputy Manager with at least four years' experience in a deputy leadership role, who knows they're ready to step up and lead their own nursery.

If you've spent years developing people, leading rooms, supporting a manager, driving standards and quietly thinking...

"I know I'm ready."

...this could be exactly the opportunity you've been waiting for.

We don't believe the best Nursery Leaders lead from behind a desk.

They lead from the nursery floor.

They're the person children run to with exciting news.

The person parents trust with what matters most.

The person colleagues naturally turn to for guidance, encouragement and support.

They're visible.

They're approachable.

They lead by example.

Because that's where great leadership happens.

We're looking for someone who wants to build a team that loves coming to work, children who can't wait to walk through the door each morning, and families who know they've found somewhere truly special.

You'll already have a strong understanding of what outstanding early years practice looks like and be passionate about developing people, maintaining exceptional standards and creating an inspiring culture.

Because exceptional nurseries aren't built by one person.

They're built by great teams with a shared purpose.

Ownership, not just responsibility

At Happy Trails Play, every nursery has its own personality.

We don't want someone who simply maintains standards.

We want someone who genuinely takes ownership.

Someone who nurtures their nursery.

Shapes its culture.

Develops its people.

Builds lasting relationships with families.

And creates a place where children flourish and colleagues are proud to belong.

The four qualities every Happy Trails Play Leader shares:

1. Whimsical

We believe childhood should feel magical.

Being whimsical isn't about grand gestures.

It's about seeing opportunities where others see routines.

Creating moments of awe.

Encouraging creativity.

Making ordinary days unforgettable.

You'll constantly ask:

"How can we make today even better?"

Because the smallest moments often leave the biggest memories.

2. Empathetic

Great leaders understand people before they lead them.

You'll build trust.

Listen carefully.

Coach with kindness.

Have honest conversations.

Celebrate success generously.

Challenge people positively.

You'll create an environment where colleagues feel safe, valued and inspired to become their very best.

3. A Desire to Learn

The very best leaders never stop learning.

We don't expect perfection.

We expect curiosity.

You'll actively seek feedback.

Embrace coaching.

Reflect on your leadership.

Learn from mistakes.

And continually look for ways to improve yourself and your nursery.

Whether you're already a Nursery Manager or preparing for your very first management role, we'll continue investing in your development.

4. Team Wellness

Happy teams create happy children.

Looking after wellbeing isn't an extra.

It's part of leadership.

You'll notice when someone needs encouragement.

Know when to challenge someone to grow.

Recognise when someone simply needs support.

Because people perform at their very best when they genuinely feel cared for.

What you'll spend your time doing

We've designed this role so you can focus on leadership.

Our central support team manages recruitment, nursery funding and much of the day-to-day administration, giving you more time to lead your people.

You'll spend approximately:

60% planning, coaching, developing your team and driving continuous improvement.

40% leading from the nursery floor alongside your colleagues.

Because leadership shouldn't disappear behind an office door.

You'll work closely with our Senior Leadership Team to embed the Happy Trails Play curriculum, maintain exceptional standards and continually improve outcomes for children.

Developing your Room Leaders will become one of your greatest priorities.

Through coaching, observations, one-to-ones and development planning, you'll help every member of your team become the very best version of themselves.

Most importantly...

You'll be visible.

Visible to children.

Visible to families.

Visible to your team.

Because we aren't looking for an office manager.

We're looking for a leader.

We're looking for someone who can demonstrate:

Experience as a Nursery Manager or at least four years as a successful Deputy Nursery Manager.
Strong leadership and people development skills.
The confidence to coach, support and hold people accountable.
Excellent knowledge of the EYFS, safeguarding and compliance.
A genuine passion for creating outstanding experiences for children.
The ability to receive and act on constructive feedback professionally.
A desire to keep learning and continually improve.

Most importantly...

We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys bringing out the very best in other people.

What you'll get

30 days annual leave plus bank holidays (38 days total)
A solid company pension
A Discretionary annual performance bonus
Lead a fully staffed, well-established nursery
Dedicated Office Administrator to reduce administration
Close support from our Operations Manager, Senior Nursery Manager, Directors and Founder
Comprehensive training and induction
Staff wellbeing programme
50% discounted childcare
Company-funded staff parties and social events
One-to-one leadership coaching
Genuine autonomy with experienced support whenever you need it
The opportunity to help shape one of Berkshire's most ambitious and forward-thinking nursery groups

If you're an experienced Nursery Manager looking for your next challenge...

Or you're an exceptional Deputy Manager who's ready to take the next step...

We'd love to hear from you.
