About Our Preschool:
We are a caring, community-minded preschool where every child is valued, heard, and celebrated. Our days are filled with curiosity, creativity, muddy boots, songs, stories, and lots of shared smiles.

Your Role:
As our Preschool Manager, you'll be the guiding heart of our setting. You will lead a kind and dedicated team, work closely with families, and make sure our preschool is a safe, happy, and inspiring place to learn. Your days might include cuddles after wobbly moments, celebrating tiny achievements, supporting staff, and occasionally retrieving glitter-covered masterpieces from the art table!

A warm, approachable leader with a Level 3+ Early Years qualification

Firm understanding of the EYFS and safeguarding
Someone who loves working with children and truly understands their needs
A good communicator who can build trusting relationships with families
Someone who's organised but flexible, confident but kind
A sense of humour because life with little ones is full of surprises!
What We Offer:
Term-time only hours, so the school holidays are yours to enjoy
A supportive, friendly team who lift each other up
A preschool full of laughter, imagination, and heart
Opportunities to grow, learn, and shape our setting
The joy of knowing you're helping children feel safe, confident, and loved
