About the role
Nursery Room Leader
£14.00 - £14.50 per Hour | 37 Hours per Week | 4-Day Working Week
Level 3 Early Years Qualification Required
Unlike many larger settings, the nursery operates with a much smaller daily attendance - This allows practitioners to build meaningful relationships with children and families while delivering high-quality, personalised care and education.
The nursery primarily operates as one large, engaging learning environment, alongside a dedicated baby room. This creates a unique opportunity for a Room Leader who enjoys variety and is confident supporting children across different stages of their early years journey.
What We're Looking For
• Level 3 Early Years qualification
• Previous experience as a Room Leader, Senior Nursery Practitioner, or experienced Nursery Practitioner
• Strong knowledge of the EYFS framework
• Good understanding of safeguarding and child protection procedures
• Excellent communication and leadership skills
• A nurturing, child-focused approach
What's On Offer
• £14.00 - £14.50 per hour
• 37-hour week across just 4 days
• Full-time, permanent position
• Smaller daily occupancy for more meaningful interactions
• Supportive and friendly management team
• Ongoing training and professional development
• Opportunity to lead within a well-established nursery
• Positive and collaborative working environment
Key Responsibilities
• Lead the day-to-day running of the main nursery room
• Deliver high-quality care and education in line with EYFS
• Plan engaging activities that support children's learning and development
• Support and mentor colleagues within the room
• Complete observations, assessments, and learning records
• Build positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues
• Maintain a safe, stimulating, and inclusive environment
• Ensure safeguarding and nursery standards are consistently maintained
