Nursery Manager

Nursery Manager – Join The Snug Family

At The Snug Childcare, we do things a little differently. We’re not just a nursery — we’re a home-from-home where children feel safe, curious, and completely themselves.

We’re now looking for a passionate, experienced Nursery Manager to lead our setting with heart, confidence, and a genuine love for early years.

If you’re someone who believes in creating magical childhood experiences and knows how to run a tight ship behind the scenes, this could be your next step.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be the driving force behind the day-to-day life of the nursery — setting the tone, leading the team, and making sure every child (and parent) feels that Snug warmth.

Leading and inspiring your team to deliver exceptional care and education

Creating a calm, nurturing, and engaging environment where children thrive

Keeping everything running smoothly — from rotas to recruitment to performance support

Building strong, open relationships with parents and carers

Ensuring the nursery is safe, compliant, and always operating at the highest standards

Overseeing the behind-the-scenes essentials — admin, budgets, and reporting

Continuously looking for ways to grow, improve, and keep things fresh

What we’re looking for

We need someone who brings both structure and soul.

Proven experience managing within an early years setting

A natural leader who can motivate, guide, and support a team

Strong knowledge of child development and early years best practice

Hands-on experience working with children — you’re not afraid to get stuck in

Confident communicator who builds trust easily with staff and families

Organised, proactive, and solution-focused

Driving licence is a bonus, not a must

Why The Snug?

Because this isn’t just a job.

It’s a place where

Children are truly seen and supported

Staff are valued, heard, and developed

No two days feel the same

You can genuinely make an impact

If you’re ready to lead with purpose, bring positive energy, and be part of something special — we’d love to hear from you.
