Nursery Manager | Aldgate / Whitechapel, East London

£36,000 - £39,000 per annum

40 Hours Per Week | Leadership Opportunity

Some Nursery Manager roles are about maintaining standards.

This one is about building them.

We're recruiting on behalf of a welcoming nursery in East London seeking a confident, resilient and hands-on Nursery Manager to lead the setting into its next chapter.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Nursery Manager or strong Deputy Manager ready to take ownership of a nursery where your leadership, energy and vision will genuinely make a difference.

About the Nursery

This is a warm, homely nursery with capacity for 30 children and a dedicated team of 6-7 staff.

The setting currently cares for approximately 25 children and prides itself on creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued and encouraged to thrive.

With an on-site chef, regular outings and a strong child-centred ethos, the nursery provides children with engaging experiences both inside and outside the setting.

The Opportunity

The owners are looking for a strong leader who can work closely with the Deputy Manager to continue developing a positive culture, strengthen standards and support the team to perform at their best.

This is not a role for somebody who wants to sit behind a desk all day.

Whilst you will oversee operations, compliance and staffing, you'll also be visible within the nursery, supporting children and practitioners where needed.

Your responsibilities will include:

* Leading the day-to-day operation of the nursery

* Supporting and developing staff performance

* Building a positive, accountable team culture

* Managing safeguarding, compliance and health & safety

* Coordinating staffing and absence cover

* Supporting children, families and practitioners

* Maintaining high standards of care and education

* Working closely with the Deputy Manager and Directors

What We're Looking For

We're seeking someone who:

* Has previous Nursery Manager or strong Deputy Manager experience

* Can confidently lead and motivate a team

* Is organised, proactive and solutions-focused

* Has strong safeguarding and operational knowledge

* Is comfortable managing challenging situations

* Communicates effectively with staff, families and external stakeholders

* Is confident using nursery management systems and technology

Most importantly, we're looking for a leader who enjoys developing people and creating a positive environment where children and staff can flourish.

What's On Offer?

✔ Salary of £36,000 - £39,000 per annum

✔ 40-hour working week

✔ Excellent public transport links

✔ Ongoing training and professional development

✔ Support towards further qualifications

✔ Regular staff training days

✔ Team-building activities and staff events

✔ Christmas celebrations and social events

✔ Opportunity to shape the future direction of the nursery

✔ Supportive ownership team

Ready to Lead?

This is an excellent opportunity for a Nursery Manager who wants more than simply running a nursery.

It's an opportunity to influence culture, develop people and create a setting where children, families and staff genuinely thrive.
