Deputy Nursery Manager

Our nurturing Fireflies Nursery team is looking for a dynamic, fun and creative Deputy Nursery Manager to help lead the next exciting stage of development for Fireflies at Frensham Heights School. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with previous deputy experience — or experience as a senior practitioner or room lead — and a minimum Level 3 qualification, who is ready to play a key role in shaping our provision. As Fireflies continues to grow from a one-room to a two-room nursery within our all-year-round model, this role will be central to ensuring that our provision remains inspiring, nurturing and true to the Frensham ethos. We are looking for someone who not only believes in that ethos, but who can bring it to life each day across both Fireflies Nursery and our pre-school Dragonflies space. You must have a genuine and evidenced passion for working with children aged 3 to 5, providing excellent care, guidance and opportunities for learning. You will be able to communicate warmly and effectively with young children, tune into their interests, and support a wide range of learners. Experience of ‘Planning in the Moment’ and other child-led approaches would be highly valued.
