Nursery Manager – An Exciting Opportunity to Build Something Special

Location: Portland, Dorset
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
Hours: Full-time, all year round

Lead. Inspire. Create.

This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious and passionate Nursery Manager to play a key role in launching a brand-new nursery and shaping an exceptional early years environment from day one.

We are creating more than just a nursery – we are developing a place where children thrive, families feel part of a community, and practitioners feel valued, inspired and empowered.

Our vision is centred around a natural, nurturing and holistic approach to early childhood, where children are given the time, space and opportunities to develop confidence, curiosity, resilience and a lifelong love of learning. We believe in meaningful experiences, strong relationships, wellbeing and learning through exploration, both indoors and outdoors.

We are seeking a visionary leader who shares our values and is excited by the chance to influence, innovate and leave a lasting legacy.

What makes this role unique?

As our Nursery Manager, you will have the opportunity to:

Shape the culture, values and identity of a brand-new nursery
Embed a natural, child-centred and holistic ethos into everyday practice
Recruit, develop and inspire a passionate, high-performing team
Design engaging learning environments that foster independence, creativity and wellbeing
Build strong relationships with families and become a valued part of the local community
Establish a workplace culture where staff feel supported, empowered and genuinely enjoy coming to work
Lead a setting with the ambition to deliver exceptional experiences for children and families

We are looking for someone who:

Is an experienced and passionate Nursery Manager
Holds a relevant Level 3 qualification or above in Early Years
Has strong knowledge of the EYFS, safeguarding and regulatory requirements
Has a passion for child-led learning, wellbeing and holistic development
Values the importance of nature, relationships and meaningful childhood experiences
Is passionate about developing others and nurturing a positive team culture
Is proactive, resilient and excited by the challenge of launching a new setting
Has high aspirations for children, families and colleagues
Brings energy, enthusiasm and a genuine love of early years education

In return, we offer:

The chance to play a pivotal role in establishing a nursery from the ground up and leaving your mark on its future
A supportive, forward-thinking leadership team that genuinely values your ideas, expertise and wellbeing
Ongoing professional development, coaching and opportunities for career progression
A collaborative environment where innovation, creativity and fresh ideas are encouraged and celebrated
Team social events and opportunities to connect, celebrate successes and build meaningful relationships beyond the workplace
Your birthday off each year, because we believe milestones should be celebrated
A staff referral scheme to reward you for introducing talented people to our growing team
Enhanced annual leave, with additional holiday entitlement awarded after two years' service, increasing by up to five extra days over time
The opportunity to be part of an organisation that recognises that happy, supported staff create exceptional experiences for children and families

Are you ready to create something extraordinary?

If you are looking for more than just a management position and want the chance to lead, inspire and shape a setting from its earliest days, while championing a natural and holistic approach to early years education, we would love to hear from you.

Join us and help establish a nursery where children flourish, families belong and staff are proud to be part of something truly special.

Pay: £35,000.00-£42,000.00 per year
