Meet the Team
Stephanie Dickinson
I have worked for Bright horizons since 2010 and been fortunate enough to experience working in different roles across 3 different settings in the north. However, I have been based at Broadgreen day nursery since 2016.
I love this nursery and feel extreme pride to provide all of our hospital and community parents a safe, secure and nurturing environment for their children.
I truly dedicate my time to coach and lead the team to ensure they are delivering expectations and needs of all of the children, parents and Bright horizons.
Colleen Gallagher
I have worked at Broadgreen for just over two years. My journey in childcare started through volunteering, after completing double health and social care at A-level, I decided to move on and further my knowledge through completing a degree at university in Early Childhood studies.
I started at the nursery in 2015 as a nursery nurse after the completion of my level 6, within the year I had progressed to preschool room leader, during this time I developed my management skills and knowledge. In 2017 I was thankful that an opportunity opened for the deputy manager position, to which I was successful. I am passionate about my role within the nursery, and it’s amazing working with such a fantastic team. I am exciting to move the nursery forward, and work alongside a manager that strives for outstanding.
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!
