Summary
At Snapdragons, we’re a family-run nursery where FAMILY is at the heart of everything we do - from the children we care for to the team we support.
We’re proud to offer a genuine work-life balance with a 4-day working week, giving you an extra day to unwind and recharge. We're not just a place to work; we're a space to grow—for the little ones in our care and for the passionate professionals who guide them.
All about the role:
Do you dream of a job where every day starts with giggles, learning, and a whole lot of fun? Are you ready to help lead a buzzing, vibrant nursery full of curious minds and caring hearts? Then we’d love to meet you!
We’re on the lookout for a passionate and motivated Deputy Nursery Manager to help steer the ship alongside our Nursery Manager. Together, you’ll keep things running smoothly, support an amazing team, and make sure our little learners get the absolute best start in life.
Your mission:
· Be the go-to support for daily nursery operations – calm, capable, and ready for anything.
· Champion high standards of care and early years education – every child deserves to shine!
· Motivate, guide, and cheer on your team – helping them be their best, every single day.
· Create a joyful, inclusive, and engaging environment where children feel safe, inspired, and free to explore.
Communicate like a pro – with staff, families, and of course, the toddlers (who are definitely the toughest crowd).
This is your chance to make a real difference, help shape the future of a growing nursery, and have a whole lot of fun while doing it.
