Help create engaging, well-planned learning environments with open-ended resources that encourage curiosity, exploration, and independence.
Support staff in recording children's progress, planning next steps, and maintaining high-quality documentation.
Participate in staff meetings, room meetings, and company network meetings, contributing to the ongoing development of the nursery.
Ensure all safeguarding, health and safety, cleanliness, housekeeping, and hygiene standards are maintained.
Assist with opening and closing procedures and ensure company policies and procedures are followed consistently.
Contribute to the nursery's action plans, ethos, vision, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Keep up to date with current early years legislation, research, and best practice, sharing knowledge and ideas with the team.

What We're Looking For

The successful candidate will have:

A relevant Early Years qualification (Level 3 or above).
Previous experience in a senior childcare, room leader, third in charge, or leadership role.
A strong understanding of the EYFS, safeguarding, and current early years legislation.
Excellent communication, organisational, and leadership skills.
Experience supporting staff development and leading by example.
The ability to build positive relationships with children, families, colleagues, and external professionals.
A flexible, proactive, and positive approach to work.
A genuine passion for supporting children's learning, development, and wellbeing.
