Job Description

Baby Room Leader

Ashdown Forest | Full-Time | Exceptional Outdoor Nursery Environment

Imagine leading a Baby Room where children explore woodland trails, breathe fresh country air every day and begin their learning journey surrounded by nature.

We're recruiting on behalf of a beautiful nursery located within the stunning Ashdown Forest area, offering a rare opportunity for an experienced Baby Room Leader to join a setting that genuinely values childhood, outdoor learning and staff wellbeing.

If you're passionate about giving babies the very best start in life and want to work somewhere that feels very different from a traditional nursery environment, we'd love to hear from you.

Why This Nursery Is Different

Set within the beautiful Ashdown Forest countryside, this established nursery combines outstanding early years practice with a strong love of nature and outdoor learning.

Children enjoy daily outdoor experiences, regular walks and access to additional woodland areas, allowing them to explore, discover and develop confidence through meaningful experiences.

The nursery currently cares for 128 children across three rooms and is supported by a dedicated leadership team, wellbeing coordinator, administrator and experienced practitioners who share a genuine passion for early years education.

This is a nursery where relationships matter, ideas are welcomed and staff are encouraged to grow professionally.

The Opportunity

As Baby Room Leader, you will take ownership of a warm, nurturing and inspiring environment for the nursery's youngest children.

You'll lead your team by example, ensuring babies receive exceptional care whilst creating an environment where children feel safe, secure and confident to explore the world around them.

You will:

  * Lead and inspire the Baby Room team

  * Create engaging experiences that support early development

  * Build strong partnerships with families

  * Champion outstanding safeguarding and care practices

  * Support, coach and develop practitioners within the room

  * Help shape the future direction of the nursery's provision

Most importantly, you'll play a key role in creating those special early childhood experiences that children and families remember for years to come.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking an experienced Early Years professional who:

  * Holds a full and relevant Level 3 qualification or above

  * Has strong Baby Room experience

  * Enjoys leading, supporting and developing others

  * Has excellent EYFS and safeguarding knowledge

  * Values outdoor learning and child-led experiences

  * Builds positive relationships with children, families and colleagues

  * Brings energy, warmth and professionalism to their work

This role would suit an experienced Room Leader or a strong Senior Practitioner ready to take the next step in their career.

What You'll Receive

In return, you'll join a nursery that genuinely invests in its people and culture.

Benefits include:

  * Competitive salary based on experience

  * Ongoing professional development and training

  * Supportive leadership team and wellbeing support

  * Opportunities for progression and career development

  * Access to exceptional outdoor learning environments

  * Staff wellbeing initiatives and resources

  * A collaborative and welcoming team culture

Join Something Special

The right Baby Room Leader won't simply manage a room.

They'll help create a place where babies feel safe, families feel reassured and practitioners feel inspired to do their very best work.

If that sounds like the kind of environment you'd like to be part of, we'd love to hear from you.
