Crowland, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire/Lincolnshire

£32,000 to £37,000 salary (dependent on experience and qualifications)

Monday to Friday / Opening Hours 7:30am to 6pm / 4 or 5-day work week available

We are looking for an experienced and qualified Nursery Manager or experience Deputy Nursery Manager to join a purpose built nursery setting, built in late 2023, based in Crowland.

The nursery can cater for up to 70 children each day across 3 rooms, is already nearing capacity, and recently (February 2026) achieved an 'Expected Standards' Ofsted rating with a 'Strong Standard' in relation to Children's Welfare and Wellbeing.

The nursery is easily accessible by road and by bus from towns in the Peterborough area.

This is a senior leadership role where you’ll take overall responsibility for the nursery – managing your staff, resources, and the nursery environment, supporting children’s learning and wellbeing, and building strong partnerships with families and the wider community. You’ll also play a key role in the business side of the nursery, supporting the owners with commercial and financial decisions and processes.

It’s a exciting role with responsibility – but you won’t be on your own. You’ll have the support of the ownership and a team of 14 staff (10 full-time/4 part-time), including a Deputy Manager, Room Leaders, and a full-time Chef!

The organisation offers:

  • Flexibility to work a 4-day or 5-day work week (as appropriate)
  • 40% discount on childcare fees
  • 28 days holiday, including bank holidays, plus additional time off during the Christmas closure
  • An opportunity to be trusted to run an established nursery with autonomy and support

You will need:

  • A full and relevant level 3 (or above) childcare qualification
  • To be able to work a flexible rota between 7:30am-6pm Monday to Friday
  • At least 2-3 years experience working in a similar role
  • Strong leadership and management experience
  • Comprehensive knowledge of safeguarding and child protection policies and procedures
  • The ability to build strong, nurturing relationships with parents, children, and the wider community
  • A passion for childcare and child development and making a difference to the community
