Working at Fennies is about loving what you do and having the passion to be the best at it


If you're an inspirational educator with a passion for providing 'the right start for under 5s,' then you belong at Fennies.

We've been excelling in early years since 1992, and we're opening new nurseries every year.

We don't acquire existing nurseries, so each of our settings is Fennies through and through, from our exceptional culture to our bespoke rooms.

From day one, you'll be supported by our tailored induction, and you'll be given every opportunity to grow and develop in your career with guidance from the Fennies Academy.


Your journey
As a Deputy Manager, you'll build bonds with parents and children every day. You'll ensure the settings are tidy, presentable and safe by completing daily checks and risk assessments.

On your daily walkarounds, you'll touch base with your team members, giving them the opportunity to give you necessary updates, whether that's changing dietary requirements or feedback on team members, for example.

You'll be responsible for tracking staff attendance and sickness and communicating this information with the HR and Recruitment Teams so that the nursery runs smoothly.

You'll be a role model in the nursery and influence the setting with your positive attitude. On days when the Nursery Manager is absent, you'll fulfil their duties.

Fennies will support you with your continued development, and with new nurseries in our group opening every year, you'll be given the guidance to progress to Nursery Manager.

  • Providing internal and external learning programmes to meet statutory requirements and help you continue your development
  • Hiring friendly and supportive team members who want to succeed together as part of the Fennies family
