Meet the Team

Michelle Tamburrini

 I have worked in childcare for over 10 years and have strove to continuously develop and adapt my practice in line with the a early years foundation stage to provide children with the best starts in life. I am a passionate, hardworking team player who strives towards excellence. Since joining the Bright Horizons Chineham team, I have provided training and development for staff to ensure the quality of the service and learning opportunities we offer are exceptional and improved the quality of care and education we give every child who attends our nursery.

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!
