Meet the Team

Tracy Wrigley

I have been with Bright Horizons since 2010 although I have been working in childcare since 1987. I have an NNEB certificate in Nursery Nursing, Supervisory Management, First Aid, Basic Food and Health & Safety certificates to mention a few. In my role as a manager I support the staff teams with planning, paperwork, observation, and support with the daily routines. I assist with the day to day management of the nursery.
I have 2 children myself and enjoy supporting an under 15’s boys football team.

Gemma Milburn

I live locally in West Didsbury, but I have been brought up in Bramhall, Stockport area. When I am not working I enjoy going to the gym, spending time with my friends and travelling. I am currently working towards my management course and I have been working in childcare since I was 16 years old.
I have an NVQ level 3 in childcare studies and first aid. I also have Level 1 and 2 in British Sign Language which I studied when I was at college.
