Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.
Indicatively £21,000–£32,000, from Level 2 assistants to Level 3 room leaders, with London settings at the top.
An Early Years Educator qualification the DfE recognises for staff:child ratios, the qualification room-leader roles require.
Level 3, then room leader, deputy and nursery management; early-years teacher routes sit beyond.
