I have been working in the childcare, within Bright Horizons for 11 years. I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Childcare and I am currently working towards completing my Level 5 in Management and Leadership. I have a true passion for working in childcare and strive for excellence in each and every day within our nursery. I have a young son who I absolutely adore and love spending time with, we love taking trips to the seaside and the park!

I have been working in the childcare sector for 11 years. I hold Btec National Diploma in Early Years. I really enjoy reading books and travelling with my husband to places of interest.
Each Staff member brings their own unique character and qualities into the nursery. Their passion to create an environment for children and families is evident as children are encouraged to investigate, problem solve through stimulating activities identified through observations and a strong relationship bond.
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!
Why Bright Horizons
The Bright Horizons passion and enthusiasm for providing high-quality care isn’t just common knowledge within our own business – we’ve also gained some impressive accolades from external sources for excellence as both a childcare provider, and as an employer. We are the only childcare company to have been listed for the last 11 years as one of the country’s top 50 “Great Places to Work” by the Great Place to Work Institute.
