Playgroup Manager – Edinburgh

Location: Blackhall, Edinburgh

Hours: Term‐time only — 8.30am–12.30pm Monday–Wednesday + 6.5 hrs admin

Contract: Permanent

Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

About Us

Blackhall Playgroup is a warm, friendly, community‐run early years setting based at St Columba’s Church in Blackhall. For over 40 years, we’ve provided a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where children aged 2–4 can learn, play and thrive through child‐led, play‐based learning and outdoor exploration.

We are now looking for a passionate, motivated and experienced Playgroup Manager to lead our small, dedicated team and help us continue delivering high‐quality early years care and education.

About the Role

As Playgroup Manager, you will oversee the day‐to‐day running of the setting and ensure we meet all Care Inspectorate standards and Scottish Government Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) requirements. You will also work in line with SSSC Codes of Practice, Health and Social Care Standards, and the Care Inspectorate Quality Improvement Framework.

Key Responsibilities

Leading, supporting and inspiring staff to create a caring, inclusive and engaging environment
Ensuring children’s individual needs are met and recorded in line with GIRFEC
Maintaining high standards of health, safety and safeguarding
Building strong, positive relationships with parents, carers, the committee and the wider community
Overseeing planning, curriculum delivery and self‐evaluation in line with Realising the Ambition and Curriculum for Excellence (Early Level)
Managing administrative tasks including budgeting, rotas, policy updates, risk assessments and Care Inspectorate documentation

About You

We’re looking for someone who is:

Warm, enthusiastic and genuinely passionate about early years education
A confident team leader with strong communication and organisational skills
Skilled at balancing people‐focused leadership with administrative responsibilities
Committed to high‐quality, child‐led, play‐based learning
Happy to sing out of tune, get messy, and be fully present with the children each day

Essential Qualifications & Experience

Minimum SCQF Level 7 (SVQ 3) in Social Services (Children and Young People) or equivalent
Ideally SCQF Level 9 (BA Childhood Practice) or working towards this
Registered with (or eligible to register with) the SSSC as a manager/lead practitioner
PVG/Disclosure Scotland membership
Experience working in an early years or playgroup setting, including supervisory responsibilities
Ability to identify and deliver high‐quality provision in line with legislation, national guidance and theory
Confident with IT and administration, including Microsoft Office 365

What We Offer

A supportive, friendly and community‐focused working environment
Opportunities for ongoing professional development and CPD
Pension contributions and flexible admin hours
Term‐time working that supports work–life balance
