Are you an experienced Nursery Manager ready to take the next step in your career?

We're recruiting for an Area Manager to oversee two successful nursery settings across Leeds and Wakefield, while supporting the exciting launch of a brand-new nursery in LS7.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a unique, independent nursery group that is passionate about delivering exceptional childcare. The settings are known for their inclusive culture, strong community values, and commitment to creating environments where children, families, and staff can thrive.

With a strong Forest School ethos, outdoor learning and a love of nature are at the heart of the nursery's approach. Children are encouraged to explore, learn, and develop confidence through meaningful experiences both indoors and outdoors.

Working closely with the owner, you'll support and develop Nursery Managers, helping them lead successful teams while ensuring high standards of care, education, and wellbeing are maintained across all settings.

  • Support and mentor Nursery Managers across multiple sites
  • Oversee the day-to-day running and performance of the nurseries
  • Assist with the opening and development of the new LS7 setting

  • Work collaboratively with the owner to drive growth and success
  • What We're Looking For

  • Previous Nursery Management or Multi-Site Management experience
  • Strong knowledge of EYFS and safeguarding requirements
  • A positive, supportive leadership style
  • Excellent communication and people-management skills
  • A passion for developing teams and delivering outstanding childcare
  • Why Apply?

  • Lead two established nurseries and support an exciting new opening
  • Join a respected independent nursery group
  • Work alongside a passionate and supportive owner
  • Strong focus on staff wellbeing and development
  • Inclusive, diverse, and welcoming culture
  • Unique Forest School and outdoor learning approach
  • Excellent opportunity to make a genuine impact and progress your career
  • If you're looking for a leadership role where you can inspire teams, shape nursery culture, and help drive the future growth of a unique childcare group, we'd love to hear from you.
