This is an exciting opportunity to join a leading nursery in Bath as Co-Head of The Garden.
Over the past six years, our nursery has steadily expanded, and from January 2025 we are introducing a new management structure. The Co-Heads will jointly run all aspects of The Garden, supported by a Deputy Manager and an Assistant Manager, who will oversee the two baby rooms.
Working three days a week (with a possibility of expanding the role to full-time after the first year), as Co-Head, you will share responsibility for all aspects of the nursery, from pastoral care to curriculum development, ensuring that children’s wellbeing and learning are at the heart of everything we do. You will also oversee and support a dedicated team of Early Years professionals, fostering their professional growth and upholding Kingswood’s values. You will be part of the Senior Management Team, shaping the future of our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) provision and contributing to our thriving school community.
We are looking for an experienced leader with a relevant Early Years qualification, strong management skills, and a deep commitment to early years education. If you are positive, strategic, and eager to make a meaningful impact, we would love to hear from you.
Closing date for applications is Monday 2 December 2024, midday.
Early applications are encouraged.
Kingswood is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful candidates will be required to complete relevant safeguarding and enhanced DBS checks, including a check of the children’s barred list.

About Kingswood School At Kingswood we hope each young person will find a love of learning and a sense of joy in their own achievement and in that of others, combined with a reasoning judgement, the courage to question assumptions, and a willingness to lead and to serve. Education that embraces these values enriches and gives deeper meaning to life. It makes the attainment of personal goals and achievements more certain, career advancement more likely, and happiness more secure. As the Principal of the Kingswood Foundation (and the Headmaster of its senior school) I believe the senior school and the prep school form together a very special place in which young people have the opportunity to realize their potential in a very caring and friendly community. The schools are set within a uniquely beautiful estate on the northern edge of a world heritage city and this provides a wonderful environment in which to grow up and learn. I hope you will come and visit us and see for yourself how we seek to develop each individual's character and talents by encouraging boys and girls to reach their fullest and best in every way.
