  • Driving recruitment, marketing, sales and community engagement in preparation for opening and beyond.
  • Embedding the Banana Moon ethos of quality care, curiosity, and learning through play.
  • Managing the day-to-day running of the setting, including compliance with all statutory requirements (EYFS, safeguarding, health & safety).
  • Supporting, developing and motivating your team to achieve excellence.
  • Opportunities to take on additional regional duties as part of your progression — with genuine promotional prospects.
Requirements

What we're looking for

  • A minimum of NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Childcare/Early Years Education.
  • Enhanced DBS clearance within the child workforce sector.
  • At least 2 years post-qualifying experience and 2 years experience managing a nursery setting or similar.
  • A confident, positive leader with strong communication skills and a genuine passion for early years.
  • Someone who thrives on a challenge and is excited by the idea of building a team and community from scratch.
Benefits

What you'll get in return

  • Competitive salary: £35,000 – £40,000 per year
  • 22 days annual leave + 8 bank holidays (with flexibility around working patterns)
  • Fully funded Level 5 Leadership qualification – we'll support your career growth.
  • Promotional opportunities with regional duties
  • Discounted childcare
  • Annual awards ceremony – hotel stay and travel included
  • Regular team-building events and monthly employee awards
  • 24/7 Employee Support Line for wellbeing and mental health support

Why choose us?

This is a rare chance to be part of something from the very beginning — to create a setting you're proud of, backed by the support of an experienced and caring network. If you want your next step in Early Years to be genuinely meaningful, this could be it.
