Nursery Manager at Busy Bees at QE Hospital Nursery
I started working in childcare in 1994, when I gained my NNEB and I worked in private nurseries.
In 1999 I was employed by Busy Bees to work at Mini Rovers Nursery as a Nursery Nurse, which is now known as Busy Bees at Longbridge.
From 1999 to 2003 I was successful in many job roles as Room Leader, Senior Nursery Nurse, Deputy Manager and in 2003 I became the Nursery Manager, which I continued to successfully manage until January 2011, where I transferred to become the Nursery Manager at Busy Bees at QE Hospital Nursery.
In my nine years as a Nursery Manager for Busy Bees I have also achieved my Level 3 in Management and I have completed my first year in the Leadership Capability Programme where I am now continuing to work towards my second stage of the Foundation Degree in Leadership.
