A prestigious independent prep school is seeking a creative, forward‑thinking Nursery Manager to lead its thriving, well‑resourced nursery. This is an exceptional opportunity for an inspiring early years professional who wants to shape a high‑quality setting, bring fresh ideas, and drive continuous improvement within a supportive school community.
The Role
You'll provide strong, visible leadership and ensure the nursery delivers outstanding care, learning, and safeguarding every day. This role offers real autonomy to innovate, elevate practice, and influence long‑term development.
You will:
- Lead, motivate, and develop a dedicated nursery team

- Ensure full compliance with EYFS, Ofsted, and statutory guidance
- Drive high‑quality teaching, learning, and care across all rooms

- Build strong, positive relationships with parents and carers
- Represent the nursery at open days, tours, and marketing events
- Work collaboratively with the wider school and contribute to strategic growth
About You
You're an experienced early years leader with a warm, confident presence and a passion for delivering exceptional outcomes. You bring:
- Strong EYFS and safeguarding knowledge
- A creative mindset and the confidence to introduce new ideas
- The ability to inspire, motivate, and develop a team
- A proactive, organised, and solutions‑focused approach
Why This Role Stands Out
- Competitive £45,000-£50,000 salary
- Beautifully resourced nursery within a respected independent school
- Supportive leadership and a collaborative school community
- Real autonomy to innovate and shape the future of the nursery
- A setting that prioritises quality, wellbeing, and professional growth
