Description
At Little Elms, Educational Leads bridge curriculum leadership and nursery leadership. They play a vital role in ensuring consistency, supporting staff development and delivering exceptional educational experiences for children across each stage of development. Our Educational Leads play a key role in ensuring exceptional educational experiences for children across each age phase of the nursery. This is a senior leadership role responsible for overseeing the quality of education, curriculum implementation and practice standards across all rooms within a designated year group (e.g. Babies, Toddlers or Preschool). Educational Leads work closely with Room Managers and educators to drive high-quality practice, support staff development and ensure consistency across the age group. They act as curriculum champions, role models and mentors, helping teams deliver inspiring learning experiences in line with the EYFS and the Little Elms Curriculum. As members of the nursery Leadership Team, Educational Leads work in partnership with the Nursery Manager and Deputy Manager to support the overall quality, culture and success of the nursery.
