About the Role
Banana Moon Day Nurseries is looking for an experienced Early Years Compliance Officer to help our nurseries maintain high standards of regulatory compliance, safeguarding, and operational quality.
This is more than an auditing role. You’ll work directly with franchisees and Nursery Managers to identify risk, strengthen practice, support inspection readiness, and ensure actions result in sustained improvement. You have the confidence to recognise when something isn’t right, communicate it clearly, and work collaboratively with nursery teams to put it right.
You will support an assigned group of nurseries and travel regularly within that region. There will also be occasional travel to our Franchise Support Office in Warwick and, periodically, elsewhere within the Banana Moon network. Overnight stays may occasionally be required.

- Excellent judgement, organisation, and attention to detail.
- Ability to work independently across multiple locations while building strong relationships.
- Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel regularly across your assigned nursery region.
