Lisa Snell
I have worked in the sector for 20 years holding various positions that have enabled me to deliver only the very best pedagogical childcare practice on a daily basis. Children learn when they are secure, confident and trust the adults they are with on a daily basis; this is the goal for every practitioner in this nursery. I totally enjoy providing support and guidance to the team of dedicated early year’s practitioners here, ensuring each child builds a treasured memory of attending Bright Horizons. I have my Early Years Teacher Status and Masters in Education, which has provided me with the underpinning knowledge of learning and development with under-fives. Within my career, I have been involved with Derby City groups for steering the direction of early years in the City.
I have been married for over 30 years and I enjoy being with my family whilst spending time with my daughter who is embarking on her higher education pathway. In our spare time, we enjoy travelling to enjoy other cultures.

In my spare time I enjoy socialising with my friends and family. I enjoy travelling and visiting new countries. At home I spend time going on walks and eating out.

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!
