Hello, my name is Mrs. Vickie Peers. I have worked with children for many years and possess a wealth of childcare experience. First qualified in 1975, with my NNEB, I have worked in hospital nurseries in both Sheffield and Chester. The hospital work also covered working with children from disadvantaged backgrounds and with children suffering various forms of abuse.
I was a qualified Nursery Inspector and I also hold a teaching qualification for 16+ adults. This was obtained when I worked on the Wirral, gaining my teaching practice with students of childcare in the local colleges. I also hold a medical AMSPAR Diploma and other relavant certificates pertaining to my role as manager.I am also presently studying for my level 5 in Childcare, Education and Management.
I came to work with Busy Bees in October 2000, managing St David's Park Day Nursery; just a few months after Busy Bees bought the nursery.
I love the nursery, the children and the staff. It has been a pleasure to be a part of the ongoing development of this nursery.
I am one of ten First Aiders at Work, based at St David’s Park and I attend numerous courses and events with the intention of constantly updating my knowledge surrounding child and staff development.
I have a strong commitment to staff development and encourage staff to attend courses such as “Paediatric First Aid”, “Child Development” and various other external courses provided by colleges and the local council.
We have a Parents Partnership Group, which is a forum for parents to meet and tell us what they think. We also operate an open door policy, whereby parents, staff and new clients can come and visit at any time.
We have held the NDNA Quality Assurance Award for over three years and are proud to say the nursery won both the “Garden of the Year Award” for 2011 and the “Busy Bees Recycling Award” for 2011.
We are inspected annually in Wales by the CSSIW and have been extremely proud of our inspection record. We have worked hard to continuously receive high accolades from such governing bodies, including a level 5 in our Environmental Health Inspection in 2012. (This is the highest level one can attain). The staff are committed to carry on this tradition.
Well done to all staff at Busy Bees St David’s park Day Nursery. I am proud to be your manager.
