Nursery Deputy Manager

Imagine working in an environment where your passion for childcare and education is not only recognised but celebrated. Our client, renowned for their commitment to high-quality care and exceptional outcomes for children, offers a unique setting where both children and staff thrive. Each bespoke nursery is designed to create stimulating, engaging spaces that foster growth and development, providing an ideal backdrop for your professional journey.

As a Deputy Nursery Manager, you will step into a role that promises a warm, positive, and friendly atmosphere. This is more than just a job; it’s a chance to make a significant impact on young lives while advancing your career. The benefits are extensive, including genuine career progression, access to professional training, a generous 60% childcare discount, enhanced maternity/paternity leave, and a supportive health and wellbeing programme. Additionally, enjoy rewards and recognition, a refer-a-friend bonus scheme, and even your birthday off.

Candidates should possess a childcare and education qualification equivalent to NVQ level 3, along with previous experience managing a room or team within a nursery setting. While a formal management qualification is desirable, it is not essential. A current First Aid qualification, a sound understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), and thorough knowledge of safeguarding procedures are required.

In this role, you will support the implementation of the EYFS, oversee planning and record-keeping, and promote partnerships with parents and carers. You will also develop and maintain professional relationships with local authorities, regulatory bodies, and other agencies. Staying updated with current developments in childcare and education policies, assisting with nursery accounts, and preparing for staff and parent meetings are key responsibilities.

Take the next step in your career with a role that offers not just professional growth but a chance to be part of a nurturing community. Apply now to join a team where your skills and dedication will be truly valued
