Nursery Manager - London

Recruiting for a Passionate Nursery Manager – A Leadership Opportunity to Open a New Purpose-Built Nursery!

Full-Time; 40 hrs/week; Start JULY 2026

Salary: Up to £69,500 per annum!

(Inclusive of up to 10% Appraisal Bonus and up to 10% Budgetary Performance Bonus)

Most Nursery Manager roles sound the same.

“Join our lovely team…”

“Supportive environment…”

“Passion for childcare…”

You’ve seen it all before.

This isn’t one of those roles.

Most positions ask you to maintain a nursery.

This one asks you to build one.

We’re opening a brand-new nursery in Hornsey, and we’re looking for a proven Nursery Manager to lead it from day one.

Your team.

Your culture.

Your standards.

All backed by the support of an established, high-performing group.

Since 2013, Bright Little Stars has grown from a single nursery to six exceptional settings. Our success is built on a simple but powerful philosophy – a child-centred environment, a warm, family-like community and a belief that every child can reach their full potential when surrounded by truth, love, and compassion.

Why Bright Little Stars:

  • Higher salary than most local competitors (£57,900 plus 20% in Bonuses!).
  • Opportunity to open and lead your own nursery.
  • Real autonomy – not corporate micromanagement.
  • Clear progression within a growing group.
  • Strong bonus structure.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Leading the full nursery launch and operation.
  • Building and developing your own team.
  • Delivering outstanding EYFS standards.
  • Driving occupancy and performance.
  • Managing budgets and compliance.
  • Creating a culture that retains great staff.

Who We’re Looking For:

  • Experienced Nursery Manager (2+ years).
  • Strong understanding of EYFS and Ofsted.
  • Commercially aware (occupancy, budgets).
  • Holds a Level 3 Early Years qualification (Level 5+ preferred).
  • Leads with clarity, consistency, and professionalism.
  • Takes pride in developing people and maintaining standards.
  • Is motivated by quality, not just targets.

Bright Little Stars Package (Top of Market):

  • Up to £69,500k salary!
  • Performance bonus + profit share
  • 37 days holiday
  • Private medical insurance
  • Free lunches + parking
  • 50% childcare discount
  • Career progression opportunities

But wait there’s more…

  • Complementary team building activities, events and annual group Christmas ball
  • Recognition and Rewards – service awards with paid vacations and celebrations
  • Manager Formal Dress Allowance
  • Workplace pension with employer contribution
  • Wellbeing perks such as Employee Assistance programme and fitness sessions
  • Unlimited Recommendation Bonuses!

Why Candidates Choose Us Over Others?

Unlike many nurseries, we don’t just offer a job – we offer:

  • Ownership and autonomy
  • Real career progression
  • A setting you can shape from the ground up
  • A leadership team that actually supports you
