Job Details

Nursery Manager

Our second setting in Sydenham SE26 is ready to welcome a new Nursery Manager and take it forward to its next, exciting phase!

Cuddly Bear Daycare at Sydenham Hill will eventually be a medium-sized setting, having opened earlier this year. We have a beautiful garden and rooms and a great team of skilled practitioners and staff, who genuinely want the best and try their best. Our people are our everything and a new manager is needed to lead, guide and advance us, so that our team’s potential can be fulfilled, and our children continue to be appropriately challenged, learning through play and making the most of their precious early years.

We have fantastic families at both nurseries and a wonderful, local community. And we all share our ethos, that ‘…children thrive best when they feel safe, valued and listened to’.

The Nursery Manager opportunity is…; to be an empowering and inspiring EY leader, role model and manager; with solid EYFS experience as a strong Manager or Deputy in a Good or Outstanding inclusive setting; to continue the trusting and individual relationships we already have in our team, developing staff professionally as we expand; to embed best practice with a rich and fun learning environment, all of which is evidenced and substantiated by the paperwork.

Although expected to be pc literate and be able to use the nursery software (with our help), email, Word and basic Excel spreadsheets, our managers do not invoice fees or offer places – which might be a relief! Our fab admin team is expert in this, leaving you to lead, manage and progress our lovely setting alongside the Owner and wider team, which includes our experienced Deputy Manager, fellow, supportive managers from our sister nursey and our HR manager for advice and support.

Essential Skills;

  • Full and relevant childcare qualification L3 and above
  • Strong Manager or Deputy Manager in a Good or Outstanding high-quality EYFS setting
  • A confident, clear communicator who works collaboratively and makes good decisions with the bigger picture in mind, quickly
  • Organised and logical; makes tasks simple and prioritises ie that paperwork is completed, processes are followed, has a consistent and fair approach
  • Flexible to juggle tasks and work needs/hours
  • Knowledge and experience; EYFS, child development, Ofsted expectations
  • Empathy and resilience skills; that you know your staff as individuals, and care to children and staff are a priority recognise and continually develop them as professionals, work confidently with other key colleagues
  • Hands-on and practical - a task completer
  • Someone who will share our Cuddly Bear ethos, that ‘children thrive best when they feel safe, valued and listened to…’

We have great lifestyle benefits here, including;

  • extra holiday or a money bonus
  • competitive salaries
  • gym membership

Company

Cuddly Bear Day Care is a successful, family-run, caring nursery. Established in 2012, we grew from a childminding setting in Heid and Mohamed’s house, and turned a large, disused, former church and gym, into a vibrant, fun and homely setting over 3 floors. In 2019 we opened our second setting on Sydenham Hill, from an empty shell into a warm and bright 60-place setting with a huge garden.

We are incredibly proud of our teams; a diverse mix of cultures, backgrounds and education, a supportive and hands-on management team, including our owners who are there every day. Our staff are hand-picked for our child-centred understanding, a can-do, a positive approach who work as a team and their kindness and care towards all.
