Early Years & Operations Lead — Apollo NurseryOlympus Learning Collective

Location: Apollo Nursery, Lydden / Dover and surrounding wraparound sites
Company: Olympus Learning Collective
Setting: Apollo Nursery
Salary: £33,000–£38,000 per year, depending on experience, qualifications and leadership background
Hours: Full-time, 40 hours per week
Start date: To be discussed

A higher salary may be considered for an exceptional candidate who brings additional experience or qualifications, such as QTS/EYTS, Forest School Leader qualification, DSL/SENCO experience, strong baby room leadership or proven multi-site leadership experience.

The Role

Olympus Learning Collective is looking for an exceptional Early Years & Operations Lead to become a key part of our senior leadership team at Apollo Nursery & OLC, our brand-new early years setting in Lydden.

This is not a traditional nursery management role. We are building something different, and we are looking for someone who wants to be part of that journey from the very beginning.

The successful candidate will work closely alongside the owner/manager as a trusted senior lead, supporting the opening and development of Apollo Nursery, while also helping to oversee our growing wraparound provision across multiple school sites.

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role. The successful candidate will be visible within the nursery, counted in ratios when needed, modelling excellent early years practice, supporting staff, and helping to shape the daily experience for children.

This is a rare opportunity to make a direct impact from day one. You will help shape the environment, routines, standards, staff culture, parent experience and quality of practice as Apollo Nursery grows.

We are looking for someone who is confident, reflective and forward-thinking. Someone who understands early years deeply, but who is also excited by new ideas, outdoor learning, strong relationships and creating a setting that feels different from the norm.

About Us

Olympus Learning Collective provides high-quality early years and wraparound care with a focus on:

Real experiences. Real learning. Real childhood.

Apollo Nursery will offer a calm, nurturing and ambitious early years environment, where children are supported through strong relationships, meaningful experiences, outdoor learning, independence, emotional wellbeing and high-quality care.
