Do you enjoy working with children and want to see them reach their full potential? St Marys is looking for a Nursery Manager to join our fantastic school based in the heart of Fairford.
At St Mary's school, we are proud of our good OFSTED rating (2025) and our Good SIAMS rating (2026). We are confident that at St Mary's you will find a community where standards of behaviour and respect for others are given a high priority, where every child is encouraged to strive to achieve their best in an environment where children are happy and eager to learn.
The Nursery Manager role within St Marys school is of key importance. You will be responsible for providing the children and teaching staff with the support they need to Shine as Lights in the World.
Job Purpose
Responsible for the day-to-day operation of the nursery, maintaining excellent standards of provision, safeguarding, and compliance, and fostering a positive, stimulating, and nurturing environment for all children and staff. Thriving in a close-knit team, the Nursery Manager will act as a role model, leading by example, communicating clearly and effectively with colleagues, children, and families. They must embody our commitment to every child's individual needs, ensuring they thrive and achieve their full potential in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), the expectations of Ofsted's Education Inspection Framework, whilst promoting our Christian vision and values alongside the ethos of the school.

This post is covered by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exemptions) Order 1975 because it is a post which involves working directly with children or young people and the applicant is required to declare any criminal convictions (or cautions or bind-overs) including those which are “spent”. The amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975 (2013, 2020) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’ and are not subject to disclosure to employers, and cannot be taken into account. Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found on the Disclosure and Barring Service website: Guidance on the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the Exceptions Order 1975
