We are not a large corporate chain and pride ourselves in the partnerships that we have locally.

Across our pre-schools we have won the Top 20 in the UK and London for small nurseries, recommended by parents. We have achieved the Early Years Quality Mark Award for as many years as we can remember! We achieved the Gold speech and language award, gained accreditation for Interactive Music Making and most recently won the national award from NDNA for Learning and Play! We will never rest though because we do as we teach our Crafty Wizards, we believe in the 'power of yet' and strive to offer better and learn more

We need an assistant manager that can role model good practice, leading by example. An assistant manager that can support the manager and drive quality.

Come and discover what makes Crafty Wizards unique. We make learning magical through creativity, we are a set of small pre-schools, not a large corporate chain. We understand how starting an apprenticeship can be a steep learning curve, but we are a small, friendly and supportive team that will support you on your journey. You need to be motivated to work with children, have enthusiasm and confidence to get involved and be part of the team. Together we can be successful! Some of our apprentices have become leading figures in our management team. Come and discover what makes us different.

Our assistant manager should be a leader, could you be that person?
