Meet the Team
Sarah McGill
I have been in the nursery profession for 23 years and have worked at Mongewell for 10 years. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience within the childcare sector; I have experienced childcare in nurseries, and schools that specialise in special educational needs. I am NVQ level 2 and 3 qualified in childcare and have an NVQ level 3 in management qualification.
I love the fact that every day is different when looking after children and how honest children are; they teach the staff just as much as we teach them. It is lovely to be a part of seeing the children meet their milestones and grow throughout their time with us at 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!
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.
