United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am an experienced nursery manager with a strong record of leading teams, ensuring safeguarding, and delivering high-quality early years provision for groups up to 93 children. I progressed from nursery nurse to manager, balancing operational leadership with hands-on child-focused practice.
I lead compliance with Ofsted, health and safety, and quality assurance, manage budgets and KPIs, and build effective partnerships with local authorities. I introduced systems that improved operational efficiency and was nominated for Centre Director of the Year in recognition of my dedication.
I mentor new managers regionally, deliver staff training, support employee relations, and prioritise staff development and retention. I bring resilience, strong communication, and a proactive approach to achieve positive outcomes for children and teams.
