Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Shape the Future of Our Nursery Environment
As our new Nursery Manager, you’ll also play a key role in overseeing an exciting upcoming refurbishment — helping to shape a fresh, modern, inspiring learning environment for children and staff.

About the Role
As Nursery Manager, you’ll lead your team to deliver exceptional early years education in line with EYFS and Ofsted standards. You’ll create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can explore, learn, and thrive.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead, inspire, and motivate your team
- Ensure full EYFS, Ofsted, and safeguarding compliance
- Drive quality improvement across the nursery
- Manage budgets, occupancy, and resources
- Build strong relationships with parents, staff, and the community
- Support staff development and professional growth
