A sound knowledge of the EYFS and a commitment to outstanding SEN practice are required. Experience of managing multi-sites is preferred, although an exceptionally experienced nursery manager with a proven track record may also be considered. Please note that we are a Montessori group - we will provide Montessori training - and you will need wellies as some of our nurseries include Forest Schools! Clean driving licence essential as much of your time will involve visiting our nurseries.
