Are you someone who can sing slightly off‑key with confidence, laugh at jokes that make no sense, count a fast-moving group of small humans in seconds, and remember every child’s favourite dinosaur (including their third favourite)? If so, you may be exactly who we’re looking for.
We are seeking an enthusiastic, experienced and passionate Nursery Leader to join our warm and supportive EYFS team. This is an exciting time for our school as we establish a new all‑year‑round nursery provision, offering the successful candidate a rare opportunity to shape a setting with real and lasting impact for children, families and the wider community.

- Can think on their feet, stay solution‑focused and show initiative
- Brings positivity, creativity and professional commitment
- Is excited to shape and embed our all‑year‑round nursery
