Lead the Adventure – We’re Hiring a Nursery Manager!

Full-Time | Leadership Role | Safari Childcare

Are you a natural-born leader with a passion for early years, a head for organisation, and a heart full of care? Can you guide a team with confidence, manage day-to-day operations with ease, and still jump into a muddy puddle when the moment calls for it?

If that sounds like you – you might be just the bold and brilliant leader we’re looking for to head up our Safari Childcare setting!

About the Role:

As our Nursery Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind our setting’s success – supporting your team, delighting families, and keeping everything running smoothly from registrations to ratios, and everything in between.

This isn’t just a job — it’s a chance to create meaningful change in the lives of children, families, and educators every single day.

Your Safari Duties Will Include:

Leading, inspiring and supporting a team of passionate educators
Managing day-to-day nursery operations and upholding high standards of care and education
Acting as the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) – ensuring child protection is at the heart of everything we do
Maintaining accurate records, registers, and compliance with EYFS and Ofsted requirements
Handling HR tasks including staff onboarding, supervisions and performance management
Working closely with families, supporting transitions and building trusted relationships
Overseeing rotas, room ratios, and efficient team deployment
Supporting with marketing and enrolment – ensuring every new family receives a warm welcome
Ensuring the nursery is always safe, clean, and adventure-ready!

Perks of Leading the Safari Squad:

Wellbeing & Mental Health Support – with access to professional counselling
Birthday Celebrations & Staff Events
High Street & Retail Discounts
Access to Ongoing CPD, Leadership Coaching & Professional Growth
Freedom to bring ideas to life and lead your own mini-kingdom!
Free Uniform & Name Badge
Competitive Salary + Pension Scheme
Autonomy with support – work closely with our senior team

What We’re Looking For:

A minimum Level 3 qualification in Early Years (Level 6+ preferred)
Previous experience managing a busy setting and a large staff team
Confident in safeguarding with up-to-date knowledge and DSL experience
Strong administration and organisational skills – confident using systems such as EY Works, EY Manage, EY Log, EY Engage and People Bunch (or similar)
A clear, calm communicator with the ability to motivate and lead a team
A genuine passion for children’s early years and a belief in play-based, child-centred learning

Ready to lead your own Safari adventure?

Apply now to join a workplace where leadership meets laughter, learning, and love.
