Deputy Head of Toddlers
2 weeks ago
Snapdragons Redland is in a leafy residential conservation area surrounded by greenery, including two children’s parks on the doorstep. Toddlers and preschool children occupy one building each in two beautiful Victorian villas linked by a modern glass atrium. The babies have their own Baby Pod, a single level modern building with access to its own garden areas alongside the main garden. As with all our nurseries the interiors are furnished with natural wooden furniture and high-quality resources to stimulate curiosity and open-ended play. There is a stunning children’s kitchen and bistro dining area and a hall equipped with a stage and indoor climbing feature. This is our largest nursery with capacity for 200 children aged 0-5 years so you will find career opportunities and progression within the large staff team, as well as lots of friends. There is some limited staff parking, but the nursery is very well served by public transport with buses running regularly along all the nearby routes, as well as being just 2 minutes from Redland train station with local lines and a link to Temple Meads.
As a Deputy Head of Room your ability to take lead, liaise and organise will be an integral aspect of your everyday life at Snapdragons. You will report to the Head of Room and nursery Managers. Being approachable, warm, and welcoming is essential when maintaining an open line of communication between the parents, nursery, and children. You will need to take into consideration the needs and interests of the children in your room and devise a daily routine for each child. You are perceptive and evaluative, and able to review and update risk assessments. You will also ensure that the students, trainee nursery assistants and nurses in your room are monitored, supervised, and encouraged.
The post is Full time (4 x 10-hour days). We offer an attractive salary of £20,384 per annum with flexible interview dates available.
You must have a minimum of Level 3 qualification specific to Early Years as defined by the Department for Education.
Our passion for caring doesn’t stop with the children. We believe that happy staff make happy children, so we offer a package of support that you won’t find anywhere else:
- 6.6 weeks paid holiday a year (that's one more than is legally required)
- Nursery closures between Christmas and New Year (meaning never working over the Christmas break)
- Additional paid leave on your birthday
- ‘Recommend a friend’ bonus
- Glitzy Christmas party with fabulous food, entertainment, and awards
- Paid paediatric first aid training
- Cycle to work scheme
- Family friendly policies including generous childcare discounts so your own children can attend
