Early Years Practice & Quality Manager
Job Description
A Role Built Around Children, People & Practice (Minimal Admin - No Business Management)
If you're happiest on the floor with the children, supporting your team, and bringing early years magic to life -- this role was made for you.
We're looking for a caring, confident Early Years Practice & Quality Manager who wants to spend their days doing what they love:
being in the rooms, building relationships, modelling great practice, and helping staff feel inspired and supported.
There is some essential admin linked to quality and compliance, but this role is not responsible for the business side of running the nursery. You'll be supported by a dedicated Business Manager, and while you may occasionally help during annual leave, you'll always have a whole team of managers around you.
This is a role for someone who wants to make a real difference -- not sit behind a desk.
About the Role
As our Early Years Quality Manager, you will:
Lead, support, and inspire our early years team day-to-day
Create a warm, positive, and inclusive environment for children, families, and staff
Champion high-quality early years practice in line with the EYFS
Support staff development, wellbeing, and confidence
Work closely with the team to ensure children thrive emotionally, socially, and developmentally
About You
We'd love to hear from you if you are:
A qualified early years professional (Level 3 minimum)
An experienced room leader, deputy manager, or manager ready to focus on leadership and practice
Warm, approachable, and supportive -- someone who leads with kindness
Passionate about early childhood education and nurturing young minds
Confident in mentoring and motivating a team
Working Pattern
Flexible working options:
4 or 5 days per week
We value work-life balance and will discuss days and hours to suit the right candidate
Why Join Us?
A truly child- and staff-centred nursery
Supportive leadership and a close-knit team
Time and space to focus on quality practice, not paperwork
A welcoming, happy environment where your leadership will be valued
If you're looking for a role where you can lead with heart, feel supported, and enjoy coming to work each day, we would love to hear from you.
Apply now and come and be part of something special.
