Job Description


We are looking for someone with a passion to ensure children have the best start in life. Something the team at YMCA Day Nursery believe should be the case for every child placed in their care.

Could you read stories upside down, with at least 10 interruptions per minute?

You would preferably have a quirkiness-if a child requests you to be a bus driver, police officer or even an astronaut, could you take them on an imaginary journey through space?

You can’t be afraid to dance in the rain, explore in the mud kitchen or build a snowman in the depths of winter.

Having the skills to count quick moving heads of small people is a must have skill.

Nose wiping skills are of course desired!

Finally, you must be prepared to feel appreciated, loved and have essential bonds with young children and their families.

As a nursery manager I can assure you that there is not a better feeling in any workplace than meeting a small 6 month old baby who you will support and watch them grow and develop into a member of the preschool room being ready to begin their school journey…


Benefits:
In addition to joining a great team, our colleagues also benefit from: enhanced holiday, your birthday off, access to a free and confidential Employee Assistance Programme, 24/7 GP Helpline, discount at our Café and Nursery, a free YMCA gym membership for you and a loved one and training opportunities on various topics such as Safeguarding, Mental health and Health and Safety and more!

To be successful in this role you will need to have undergone a relevant level 3 childcare qualification and be able to provide this during your interview.

Please note, the post holders must be able to work flexibly depending on the needs of the business and must be available for occasional overtime.

If you’re interested in this post and would like an informal chat, please contact us on and ask for Ian (Nursery Manager) or HR, both will be happy to arrange a time for you to discuss the role and expectations in further detail. We have various roles available so please get in touch to learn more about our fantastic opportunities to join our Nursery family!
