Michelle Tamburrini
I have been in the childcare industry for 13 years working my way up from a nursery assistant.
I began my journey working towards my level 3 qualification in childcare shortly after this. After 6 years I progressed into a deputy manager role and found the thirst for knowledge so then embarked on my Foundation Degree journey.
Through this my passion for implementing and embedding outstanding practice sparked and shortly into this qualification I was offered a nursery manager role. The teachings I had helped me to steer my team and influenced my leadership style to achieving my first outstanding nursery inspection. Since then I have worked in a number of nurseries for Bright Horizons implementing quality and standards to ensure the parents and children get the right start on the educational journey.
Nikki Hopcraft
I have been with Bright Horizons since 2001. I have completed my NVQ Level 2 and 3 in Childcare and Education and also my advanced Diploma in Childcare and Education. I started work as a Room Manager in the 2-3 year old room and then progressed to Deputy Nursery Manager.
I have seen many families go through our nursery and have enjoyed being a part of the children’s development. I have two young children, one of which attends Dolphin Bracknell Nursery.
I work alongside the Nursery Manager to deliver the highest quality care and education for children and families. I also regularly spend time in the nursery rooms observing and mentoring staff in addition to spending valuable time with the children.
Louise Burness
I have worked within the childcare sector for 14 years. I started out in my career as a nursery assistant where I also attained my NVQ LEVEL 3 in Childcare and Education. I have experienced different roles within my career ranging from nannying to my current position as Deputy Manager. Along the way I have gained a great deal of knowledge through experiences caring for children aged between 3 months and 12 years of age, and I am passionate about providing children with a safe and secure environment, enriched with a wide range of learning opportunities, that is supported by caring and knowledge staff. I have an amazing family who support me to achieve the best outcomes in my career and two beautiful daughters
Candy Floss
Hi, my name is Candy Floss, I joined Bright Horizons in March 2010 as the ‘Super Safety Hero’ to help nursery children stay safe and manage risks. My role as a Health and Safety Super Hero is unique to Bright Horizons and I’m in every nursery, 365 days a year.
Back in 2010, I saw a job advert for a Zebra Super Safety Hero – I was very excited, applied and was invited for an interview with several other zebras. We were interviewed by all the children who then voted on which of us would be their Super Safety Hero. It was hoof biting but I was thrilled when they told me I was the most voted for by the children who all loved me because of my cape and bag. My bag is very special, if something fits inside, it’s a choking hazard. You might be wondering how I got my name. The children in our nurseries chose five names and voted for their favourite. I love it as it’s unique, I mean have you ever heard of a zebra called Candy Floss? Exactly!
