To start September 2026
Inspire young minds in a warm, welcoming nursery setting.
We are looking for a caring, enthusiastic and qualified Nursery Room Leader to join our friendly nursery team in the Under 2s room in Lingfield. This is a fantastic opportunity to help shape the early experiences of children, in a nurturing environment where wellbeing and learning go hand in hand. This is for maternity cover for up to one year.
Whether you’re already working in a similar setting or looking to take the next step in your early years career, we’d love to hear from you.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll play an active role in the day-to-day life of the nursery, working closely with parents, carers and other professionals to ensure every child feels safe, supported and inspired to learn.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone with experience in an early years setting who brings energy, warmth and a genuine passion for working with young children. You’ll need a relevant childcare qualification (NVQ Level 3), excellent communication skills and the confidence to work on your own initiative, as well as a team-focused mindset and a positive, can-do attitude.
Hours and benefits
The role is full time, working all year round. The nursery is open Monday to Friday between 7.30am and 6.00pm, and hours are worked on a shift basis within these times.
We offer:
28 days paid holiday (inclusive of statutory holidays).
Sick pay entitlement and medical cash plan.
Paid breaks and free lunches & refreshments.
Free car parking facilities.
Access to the Nest Pension Scheme.
A friendly, supportive team where your work is valued.
Golden Hello of £1,000 paid to qualified practitioners who join us.
How to apply
Please submit your CV and cover letter by 9am, 26 June 2026.
We will consider applications as they are received and therefore reserve the right to close the vacancy earlier than the date stated should we successfully appoint to this role.
We look forward to hearing from you.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.
We value diversity and welcome applications from all backgrounds. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all staff and pupils.
