This Nursery Needs a Leader, Not Just a manager!

Tops Wimborne has recently had it's Ofsted rating improved! We’re now looking for someone who can lead with energy, inspire a team, and create a place where children feel excited to learn and explore every day.

We’re searching for an experienced Early Years leader to take the reins of our busy 80-place nursery and help shape something really special. Someone who understands that great childcare isn’t just about ticking boxes, it’s about creating meaningful experiences, supporting passionate Educators, and building an environment where children thrive both indoors and outdoors.

Most importantly, you’ll genuinely value outdoor learning, muddy boots, imaginative play, adventure, confidence-building, and giving children the freedom to learn beyond four walls.

With at least five years’ experience in Early Years and proven leadership experience, you’ll bring vision, positivity, and the drive to take the nursery forward.
