  • Start Date: January 2026
  • £20 per hour | 8am-6pm | Monday to Friday (1-hour lunch)
  • Are you a nurturing, organised, and experienced early years professional ready to take the next step in your career? We're looking for a Deputy Nursery Manager to join our warm and welcoming residential-based nursery in the heart of Queen's Park.

    This is a fixed-term maternity cover role, offering the chance to work in a beautifully homely setting with children aged 1-4 years, where every day is filled with curiosity, creativity, and care.

    As Deputy Nursery Manager, you'll work closely with the Nursery Manager to ensure smooth daily operations, lead a team of passionate practitioners, and maintain a safe, stimulating, and loving environment for our little learners.

    You'll also take the lead on administrative tasks, so confidence with office systems and organisation is key.

  • CACHE Level 3 qualification (minimum)
  • At least 2 years' experience in a similar senior or leadership role
  • Strong knowledge of the EYFS framework
  • Confident with admin and nursery management systems
  • A warm, personable, and professional approach
  • This is a fantastic opportunity for a Deputy Nursery Manager who is ready to make a meaningful impact in a short-term role, or for a strong Room Leader ready to step up.
