Deputy Nursery Manager

We are currently recruiting a Deputy Nursery Manager to work alongside the Head of Nursery in delivering a high standard of learning, development and care for children in the Nursery setting, to start as soon as possible.

The successful candidate will support the Head of Nursery to ensure the effective daily management of the Nursery, with a sound knowledge of all policies, procedures, statutory welfare requirements and ISI and Ofsted criteria and expectations ensuring that these are maintained at all times. You will work in partnership with parents, carers and professionals to promote the well-being of the children, developing and implementing the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum.

This is a great opportunity for a candidate with either Room Leader, Senior in Charge or nursery management experience to take the next step in their career.
