Are you a passionate early childhood leader who thrives in a supportive, values-driven environment? We are currently seeking an experienced and committed Nominated Supervisor to join our family-run 45-place early learning centre where every child is known, every family is valued, and educators are supported to thrive.

About Us

We are a family-owned and operated early childhood service that takes great pride in delivering high-quality education and care in a warm, nurturing environment. Our centre is more than just a childcare service — it’s a home away from home, where relationships, community connections, and meaningful learning experiences are at the heart of everything we do.

With a strong commitment to creating a calm, natural, and welcoming space, our boutique-sized service caters for children aged 0–5 years across three beautifully resourced classrooms. Our close-knit team shares a genuine passion for early education and works collaboratively to foster a culture of trust, reflection, and ongoing learning.

The Role

As our Nominated Supervisor, you will lead the daily operations of the centre, working closely with the Approved Provider and educational leadership team to ensure the delivery of a high-quality, compliant, and inspiring early learning program. You will play a key role in mentoring our educators, guiding pedagogical practices, and cultivating strong, respectful partnerships with families and the broader community.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and manage the daily operations of the service in accordance with the National Quality Framework (NQF)

Ensure the service operates within compliance of all relevant legislation and regulations

Guide and mentor a team of educators to deliver child-led, play-based programs aligned with the EYLF

Embed the service’s philosophy and family values into all aspects of leadership and decision-making

About You

Eligible to be appointed as the Nominated Supervisor (or already holding this designation)

Minimum 2+ years’ leadership experience in an early childhood setting

Sound understanding of the NQF, NQS, EYLF and National Law & Regulations

Strong leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills

Why Join Us?
