The body of the ad for a Nursey Nurse does call it Nursery Nurse, so it looks like your first guess was right. It was a typo.
Nursey nurses are the nursiest!
It sounds a bit Carry On to me!
Carry On Nursey Nurse - it could be a remake of Carry On Nurse...
Instant google research reveals 35,500 instances of the typo, most of which seem to be adverts for nursery nurses in the UK. I suspected a quirk in Microsoft spell-checker, but just tried "nursery" in Word 97 both UK and US language. So it cannot be that.
So 35,500 instances of 'nursey nurse' in Google and 523,000 instances of 'nursery nurse'. That means the ratio of 'nursey nurse' to 'nursery nurse' is about 1:15. Seems like a high proportion of nursey nurses to me. (Probably a totally unscientific way at looking at language use, though.)
