* Plan & deliver high-quality, inclusive play and learning experiences tailored to each child's needs
* Ensure safeguarding at every turn: risk assessments, staff training updates and strict adherence to our policies
* Build strong relationships with families, keeping them informed of their child's progress and fostering a genuine key-person approach
* Drive occupancy through local marketing initiatives, including community outreach, social media, and nursery tours

* At least 1 year of experience in a leadership role, supervising a small team

A genuine passion for early years, creativity in planning and the confidence to take initiative.
