Creche Supervisor

We’re looking for caring, confident and experienced Crèche Supervisors to take a daily leadership role within our childcare department. Reporting to the Childcare Manager, you will oversee the day-to-day operations of the crèche, work directly with children, support the wider team and ensure high standards of care, safety and communication every single day.

This is a hands-on Early Years role where you will lead by example - working in ratio where required, guiding staff, welcoming families, and keeping the crèche running smoothly. When two crèches operate simultaneously, you’ll oversee one of them independently, making key decisions and managing activities, routines and staff deployment.

It’s the ideal role for an Early Years professional who loves being on the floor with children while confidently managing a small team in a fast-paced, seasonal environment.

• Lead the daily running of the crèche, ensuring smooth, consistent and high-quality childcare operations.
• Work directly with children, staying in ratio where required while maintaining exceptional care and safety.
• Oversee one of the crèches independently when multiple sites are open.
• Welcome families each day, gather essential information and build trusting relationships with parents and carers.
• Create a warm, nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged 4 months to 3 years.
• Plan and deliver engaging, age-appropriate indoor and outdoor activities.
• Maintain high levels of cleanliness and hygiene; support daily and weekly cleaning routines.
• Carry out daily risk assessments and respond confidently to emergencies.
• Provide friendly, clear communication and feedback to parents.
• Record incidents, accidents and important child information accurately.
• Work with the kitchen team to provide healthy snacks and meals.
• Liaise with other departments to support smooth childcare operations.
• Help train and guide seasonal childcare staff throughout the season.
• Address guest queries or concerns with professionalism and confidence.
• Support evening childcare sessions and provide babysitting (minimum two nights per week, paid extra).
• Take on additional tasks when required to support the smooth running of the club.

• Previous supervisory or senior Early Years experience.
• Full Paediatric First Aid Certificate (required).
• Basic Food Hygiene Certificate (desirable).
