Empower your teams through your inspirational leadership to be an outstanding nursery.
What is a Nursery Manager?
As a Nursery Manager, you'll be a passionate early years professional with experience working with
children in a busy nursery setting. A Nursery Manager oversees the day-to-day running of the nursery,
ensuring the setting provides a stimulating environment where the children thrive, and your team get
the opportunity to develop their skills through your continued support. You'll take care of the business
responsibilities in the nursery and be responsible for all those in your care.
You’ll lead from your passion to support your team to be the best Practitioners that they can be as they
follow your guidance. You’ll have inspirational initiatives for actively developing your team’s skills by
being a supportive role model, and you’ll stay abreast of industry news, so that your team can
implement the very best educational care.
As a Nursery Manager, you'll start your day by conducting morning checks around the nursery and
ensuring the Early Years Practitioners and Room Leaders are ready for the day ahead and have given you
any important updates. Then, you'll ensure the nursery rooms are ready for the children to arrive. Every
day you will fill out the necessary management reports and give your QDM updates on staff members
and the activities in your nursery. You'll be an inspirational Early Years Manager who is a role model in
the nursery family, and you’ll empower your team by ensuring everyone is following the correct policies
and procedures. You'll create a positive influence in the setting and build genuine bonds with the
parents, the children, your team and the local community.
