Hi I'm Fatma, I have worked for the Busy Bees Group for 9 1/2 years and I have previously managed other nurseries within the group. I have a CACHE Level 3 in childcare and education. I am also the nursery safeguarding officer. I have recently completed First aid at work.

I joined Bernard Street in November 2009 to take on the role of Nursery Manager, which I thoroughly enjoy. We have a strong staff team here at the nursery and a great relationship with our parents. It is a privilege to see so many children and their siblings graduate through the company, it makes my job more rewarding.

I enjoy seeing the children progress to their full potential.

Our latest Ofsted report states; "the nursery is extremely inviting, largely well-resourced and provides scope for all areas of development inside and outdoors, as children enjoy free-flow outdoor play at all ages. Children become self-motivated learners"
