Meet the team
Gloria
Nursery Manager
I am the Nursery Manager, my name is Gloria and I qualified as an NNEB in 1985. I worked within Education for the first 7 years of my career and then progressed to become Senior Nursery Nurse and subsequently Deputy Manager of a Day Care setting before my appointment here.
I have been here at Busy Bees since the nursery first opened its doors as Wonderland in 1995 and have seen many changes over the years. I was appointed as Manager when the building was still residential and in the process of being converted into a nursery, so my role here was very hands on from the beginning. Shaping the building into the wonderful nursery it has become today.
My aim for the future is to continue to lead Busy Bees forward. Maintaining our exceptional standard of care and providing the enthusiasm to promote new and exciting ideas for our children.
My home life is precious to me and I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends, walking my dogs and having my grandchildren with me. I also have a passion for cooking.
