Matthew Fotheringham - Centre Director

Matthew Fotheringham

Centre Director

My name is Matthew and I am the new Centre Director for Nottingham University.

I am incredibly excited to be joining Busy Bees Nottingham University as Centre Director. I have been working in education for over 15 years. I started off working as a teacher within schools, including being a senior leader and managing a nursery in a school setting. I am extremely passionate about the Early Years and how crucial it is as it shapes the foundation for emotional, social, and cognitive skills that carry us forward into adulthood.  Since 2022 I have been working in private nursery settings and have been in managerial roles for 2 years. I am a big advocate for outdoor learning, building positive and nurturing attachments and have a massive love of books and know how beneficial it can be to support children's learning and communication and language development. In my spare time I love to read, build Lego, and explore the great outdoors with my husband and adopted son. My first role within a private early year's setting was with Busy Bees in Derby and I am proud to back to Busy Bees to support the centre to give our children the best start in life.
