We are looking for an experienced, motivated and passionate Nursery Manager to lead our team at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hounslow.

You will lead and support the nursery team, build strong relationships with children and families, and ensure that the nursery provides a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment in which every child can thrive.

You will work closely with the Directors and wider Banana Moon support network to develop the nursery, maintain high standards and continue to grow occupancy while ensuring that quality of care remains at the heart of everything we do.

Salary: £47,000–£50,000 per annum, depending on experience and qualifications.

  • Build positive and professional relationships with parents and carers.
  • Respond effectively to parent enquiries, feedback and concerns.
  • Support the recruitment, induction and ongoing development of nursery staff.
  • Monitor occupancy, enquiries and registrations and support initiatives to grow the nursery.
  • Work closely with the Directors on staffing, budgets, nursery performance and continuous improvement.
  • Promote a positive, professional and supportive culture throughout the nursery.

  • Strong knowledge and practical understanding of the EYFS.
  • Excellent knowledge of safeguarding procedures and responsibilities.
  • A good understanding of Ofsted requirements and the standards expected within an early years setting.
  • Strong leadership and people-management skills.
  • Experience of supervising, supporting and developing staff.
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills.
  • The ability to build positive relationships with parents, children and colleagues.
  • Confidence in managing challenging situations professionally and calmly.
  • A strong commitment to delivering high-quality childcare and continuous improvement.
  • The ability to manage both the childcare and commercial/operational aspects of a busy nursery.
  • A satisfactory enhanced DBS check and completion of all required safer recruitment checks.

Previous experience of successfully leading an Ofsted inspection would be highly advantageous.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary of £47,000–£50,000 per annum.
  • Full-time, permanent position.
  • Opportunity to lead and develop a growing nursery.
  • Support from experienced Directors and the wider Banana Moon franchise network.
