Tiffany Haimowitz
I have been working for Bright Horizons since 2007, starting as a student in our Chigwell nursery. Developing key skills and knowledge throughout my journey to my current position, I am proud to be the manager of Heron Quays Nursery and Preschool. I look forward to managing the nursery supporting the staff in their professional development while welcoming new families and providing quality care and education.
Tracey Hunter
I have worked in childcare for over 20 years, and joined Bright Horizons in 2019. I have had the opportunity to gain more managerial experiences but still working in rooms sharing my knowledge and introducing new songs to the children. I have built good relations with the children and parents and this is reflected in the nursery. I have been a part of the team to help build the nursery and gain Good Ofsted rating and look forward to working alongside the new management team to drive the success of the nursery.
Sandra Noll
I have been working at Bright Horizons since 2017 aupporting our Chelsea Nursery where I worked as a Preschool Room Leader, progressing to the Third in Charge. I soon transferred over to Bright Horizons Heron Quays where I supported the nursery for over a year as the Deputy Manager. I have just returned from maternity leave and have had baby boy. I am passionate about my job and love working with children. Watching them grow and develop is what makes me happy.
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!
