The role of Room Leader
Welcome to the heart of Kido, where passion, ambition, and people are at the core of everything we do! As a Room Leader you’ll be more than just a leader; you’ll be an ambassador for our values, and a gatekeeper for our vibrant culture.
We set the bar high, aiming for nothing less than greatness, and your role will be instrumental in achieving that. You’ll take full ownership of your room, taking learning outcomes and transforming them into inspiring classroom experiences for the children to thrive.
You’ll be a team player ensuring that you and your team meet the unique needs of each child, leading your room team to plan, organise and execute engaging activities that align with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) standards for child learning and development. You’ll ensure the educators in your classroom take ownership of observing and assessing their key children, and you’ll support them in setting goals for each child. But it’s not just about the children - you’ll be a role model for excellence, accountable for your team following standards and driving the growth, development and progression of your team.
You’ll be an integral part of setting the stage for curiosity and exploration, utilising both indoor and outdoor spaces. With a hands-on approach and with great attention to detail, you’ll deliver exceptional experiences throughout the children's learning journeys within our nursery. An ability to effectively communicate with parents, children and colleagues will set you apart and aid us in delivering the best experience possible, especially the parents of your key children.
We believe in celebrating every child's unique journey, and you'll play a key role in assessing and recording their progress and achievements. By aligning to our systems of observation, you'll ensure no milestone goes unnoticed, and every achievement is celebrated.
We take pride in creating a nurturing environment that caters to individual needs, acknowledging the diversity of each child's background, culture, disabilities, and medical history. Your flexibility and dedication, insights and feedback will be valued as we constantly push the boundaries of excellence and reimagine what exceptional early years education really means.

Level 2 qualifications in Maths and English including functional skills are also a must if you obtained your qualification after 2014.
