Deputy Manager Nursery

Alignedge Solutions Limited
Tower Hamlets, Greater London

We’re looking for a Deputy who is both a natural leader and a nurturer — someone just as comfortable mentoring staff as they are singing with toddlers or planning activities for preschoolers. This is a hands-on leadership role, where you will be visible across the nursery every day, providing consistent support to help create the conditions for high-quality learning and development for both the team and the children.

You will work closely with the Nursery Manager to:

Lead and inspire a team of passionate educators

Coach, mentor, and support staff through high-quality interactions and reflective practice

Contribute to our child-led, curiosity-inspired curriculum, underpinned by the EYFS

Promote a culture of openness, growth, and professional accountability

Ensure safeguarding, wellbeing, and compliance remain central to daily practice

Confidently step into the Manager’s role when required

Who are we looking for?

A Level 3 childcare qualification or above (required)

No sponsorship provided — applicants must have the right to work in the UK

Experience as a Deputy Manager, Room Leader, or Third in Charge in a nursery setting

Passion for supporting children, families, and staff

Ability to thrive in a supportive, team-focused environment

Hands-on, energetic, and confident being actively involved on the floor

Enthusiasm for developing and supporting others in their professional growth

A positive, solutions-focused approach and ability to stay calm under pressure

Strong understanding of leadership, resilience, and accountability

Confident knowledge of the EYFS, safeguarding procedures, and Ofsted requirements
