Room Leader – Level 3

Up to £33,000 per year | Full Time | All Year Round

A new nursery is a chance to build something special from the beginning – creating the routines, relationships and room culture that children will experience every day.

This beautifully designed new setting blends a modern Early Years environment with a warm, homely atmosphere. Bright and inspiring rooms have been thoughtfully created to encourage creativity, curiosity and connection, with everything from sensory play areas to cosy reading areas giving children different ways to explore, engage and unwind.

Outside, a dedicated playground extends learning into the fresh air, providing space for active play, exploration and discovery while encouraging children to follow their natural curiosity.

As Room Leader, you’ll take ownership of your room, supporting your team to bring these spaces to life and creating an environment where children feel secure, confident and excited to learn.
