Support Nursery Manager
Job description
Support Nursery Manager
Salary: Up to £50,000
Our client, a well-respected early years provider, is seeking an experienced and motivated Support Nursery Manager to support a group of nurseries across London. This is an exciting opportunity for a confident leader who thrives on variety, flexibility, and the chance to make a real difference in multiple settings.
This is not your typical nursery manager role. As a Support Nursery Manager, you’ll travel between nurseries across London, providing expert operational leadership and hands-on support where it's needed most — from stepping in during leadership transitions to helping improve standards or mentor local teams.
Working closely with Area Managers and Nursery Leaders, you'll play a crucial role in ensuring each setting delivers high-quality care and education that puts children first.
What You’ll Need
Minimum Level 3 Early Years qualification (or above)
Previous experience as a Nursery Manager (or within a similar role) is essential
A strong understanding of EYFS, safeguarding, and regulatory requirements
Proven leadership and team development skills
A flexible, proactive approach and a willingness to travel across London
Excellent communication and organisational abilities
A genuine passion for giving every child the best start in life
Key Responsibilities
Take the lead in managing nursery operations across multiple sites when required
Provide short- and medium-term leadership cover for nursery managers
Support teams to meet and exceed EYFS standards and safeguarding expectations
Mentor and coach staff, developing leadership skills within local teams
Help drive quality improvement initiatives and ensure consistent standards
Build strong, positive relationships with staff, children, and families
Champion inclusive, child-centred practice in every setting you support
