Your nursery in
Stevenage, Great Ashby

My name is Lisa Stevens and I am the Centre Director at Stevenage Great Ashby Nursery.

I have worked for Busy Bees for over 25 years resulting in a wealth of knowledge and childcare experience.

I have a range of qualifications and experience from completing my NNEB in 1992 and NVQ level 3 in 1998. More recently I gained a certificate in Leadership and Management. 

Over the years I have attended many courses and taken part in additional training to ensure my knowledge is up tp date with the current standards. This includes a Level 3 certificate in food management, paediatric first aid, safeguarding and EYFS courses.

The team here at Busy Bees Stevenage Great Ashby is stable and experienced with many team members achieving 5 - 25 years long service. We take pride in our low staff turnover resulting in consistency for the children in our care. 

I find being part of children’s growth and development both rewarding and satisfying. My favourite part of my job is that I get to experience each and every aspect of working in a nursery. I get to enjoy the best of both worlds including working closely with parents and spending time supporting the children with their daily activities. 

I love to plan social events so that parents can meet other families and I strive to promote parent partnership and involvement in the nursery. 

I am incredibly proud of the nurturing environment we have created at our nursery as both of my children attended from age 8 months to school age and absolutely loved their experience. 

I currently work Tuesday - Friday. Sian Stokes is the Centre Director on a Monday.
