Dear Future Preschool Room Leader
This role is open to all Part-time or Full-time candidates.
We are looking for someone to secretly come in as a Level 3 Practitioner, with the intention of becoming a Room Leader in the very near future (within the first 3 months).
The team you will be leading are amazing people - you will be very lucky to have them on your side backing you. For this reason we are looking for someone confident in their ability, and ready to flip the script in Pre-school with all of our backing
We're known for two big things:
* Putting the fun back in childcare
* Leading the way in healthy eating
What makes us wildly different? (You might want to sit down for this…)
Cooking Club
Yes, our children cook with real chefs in a real children's kitchen. We don't just play with food — we teach it, we taste it, and we explore it together.
Gardening Club
We've got an actual allotment and an outdoor learning expert. Think bug hotels, compost, birdwatching, tomatoes, and wide-eyed wonder. It's more than outdoor play — it's a hands-in-the-soil education.
Robust Staff Wellbeing Programme
From wellness days to social events, we invest in you. Because happy educators = happy children.
The Preschool Team You've Always Dreamed Of
Fun, supportive, driven, and brilliantly creative. You won't just be a Room Leader — you'll be joining a dream team - our team are wonderful.
What we're looking for:
* You've got experience as a Room Leader – or you're a strong Level 3 ready to step up.
* You're organised and a natural motivator.
* You love to lead from the front and make learning magical.
* You're on a mission – not just to tick boxes, but to raise the bar for early years education.
* You're a happy human who brings good vibes, fresh ideas, and real energy to every shift.
What's in it for you?
* A competitive salary that reflects your experience
* A clear path to grow within our setting
* A wellbeing programme that actually supports your wellbeing
* Events, training, and celebrations all year round
* A chance to do something genuinely different in childcare
