Hi! My name is Jennifer and I am very excited to be the new manager of the brand new Palmers Green Day Nursery and Preschool. I began studying Childcare in 2006 while I was studying my BA (Hons) in Education I managed an afterschool/holiday club for children aged 4-11.
I have been working with Bright Horizons since 2010. I have worked in various roles within the company and have supported in many nurseries across various regions.
I am passionate about delivering outstanding care and education to every child and strongly believe in leading with HEART and working alongside my team to do so. I have led two Outstanding Ofsted inspections. I firmly believe that children remain at the very centre of everything that we do and am a strong advocate for child led learning and effective family partnerships, supporting children to achieve their very best potential.

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.
