Anne-Marie Lawrence
Nursery Manager
My name is Anne-Marie Lawrence. I have been working within the Early Years Childcare for over 30 years I have built a wealth of knowledge around the learning and child development. As a practitioner I aim to motivate and encourage children's learning through their imagination, interests and creativity. As Nursery Manager and team member I ensure all children have a stimulating environment and fun filled experiences. At Chingford Busy Bees we aim to support each other and bring forward our skills to encourage our children to be the best that they can be.
Amy
Assistant Manager
My name is Amy Shaffer and I'm the Assistant Manager at Chingford. I gained my NVQ3 qualification in 2006. I joined the company as an apprentice and worked my way up to Assistant Manager which I am very proud of. I enjoy meeting new parents and children, seeing them progress through the nursery and then on to 'big school'. My daughter was born in 2014 and my son was born in 2016, both attend Busy Bees. My children are thriving at nursery and I couldn't think of a better place for them to be.
