Deputy Nursery Manager – Exciting New Nursery Opening Summer 2025!
Location: Nottinghamshire
Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent
Salary: Competitive, based on experience and qualifications
Start Date: From June/July 2025
About Us:
At St. George’s Nursery, we’ve been delivering exceptional early years education across the East Midlands for over 30 years. With a warm, family-run ethos and a reputation for quality, we are proud to be opening a brand-new nursery in Nottinghamshire in Summer 2025 – and we’re looking for an experienced, passionate Deputy Manager to help lead it from the ground up.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a new setting with standout facilities and a truly supportive leadership team.
A Truly Special Nursery:
This new setting has been thoughtfully designed to inspire curiosity and creativity, with features including:
A large nature garden and imaginative outdoor learning areas
A purpose-built children’s kitchen for experiential learning
A calming sensory room and atelier for creative exploration
A dedicated staff training and wellbeing space
You’ll be part of shaping something truly unique for the local community.
The Role:
As Deputy Manager, you’ll work closely with the Nursery Manager and Head Office team to support the opening and day-to-day leadership of the nursery. You’ll take the lead on practice and compliance, support staff development, and step up in the Manager’s absence.
This is a perfect opportunity for:
An experienced Deputy Manager ready for an exciting new challenge
OR a strong Nursery Manager looking for a senior role in a brand-new setting with a high level of support
You’ll Be Supported By:
An experienced Nursery Manager
A hands-on Senior Management Team
Our Operations, Marketing, Accounts, and Maintenance teams at Head Office
Strong systems and a nurturing, team-oriented culture
Key Responsibilities:
Support the setup and smooth running of the new nursery
Ensure outstanding care, learning and safeguarding practices across the setting
Motivate, coach, and mentor your team to achieve their best
Develop strong, positive relationships with children and families
Help manage daily operations including staffing, rotas, and admin
Act as Manager in their absence
What We’re Looking For:
Level 3 Early Years qualification (Level 5+ desirable)
Experience in a Deputy or Manager role within a nursery setting
Confident understanding of the EYFS, Ofsted and safeguarding
Strong leadership skills, with a calm, can-do attitude
Passion for early childhood education and a commitment to excellence
Ready to Build Something Special?
If you’re an experienced early years leader looking to make your mark in a brand-new setting — while being fully supported every step of the way — we’d love to hear from you!
