Nursery Manager

Nursery Manager Bexley

Are you an experienced Early Years professional ready to take full leadership of a newly established setting?

A high-performing Trust is opening new nursery provisions in Bexley this September, as part of a major national investment into early years education. Based within established Primary Schools, these settings are designed to improve access to high-quality childcare and provide children with a strong foundation from the outset.

This is a full-time role, working 8:00am-5:00pm, Monday to Friday.

As a Nursery Manager, you will:

  • Lead the day-to-day running of the nursery setting
  • Maintain high standards of care, learning, and safeguarding
  • Oversee staff performance and drive team development
  • Ensure a safe, structured, and engaging learning environment
  • Promote children's language, communication, and social development

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
