Banana Moon Day Nurseries is looking for an Early Years Training & Development Officer to create and deliver practical, engaging learning across our growing nursery network. You will work with Nursery Managers, franchisees and nursery teams to turn operational needs, Early Years best practice and compliance insights into learning that makes a difference.

• Support the delivery and continued development of the Banana Moon Early Learning Development Programme, curriculum initiatives and future learning frameworks.
• Lead induction and onboarding support for new Nursery Managers in partnership with franchisees.
• Coach Nursery Managers and teams to strengthen capability, confidence and Early Years practice.
• Develop practical training materials, guides, resources and learning tools.
• Monitor participation and effectiveness and provide follow-up coaching where additional support is needed.
• Partner with the Compliance team to address recurring development needs and support inspection readiness.
• Stay current with EYFS requirements, regulatory expectations and adult learning best practice.
