Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Bristol

Hi,

I'm Faye, the Nursery Manager at Nuffy Day Nursery.

I have worked in the Early Years sector for over 10 years, since graduating University. I have worked in a variety of Early Years settings, and as a Nanny.

I have also recently completed my Early Years Teacher Status Qualification!

My heart really lies in Early Years - I love watching the children flourish and develop and as the Manager of a team, I love supporting the team to offer the best possible care to the children we look after.

I really enjoy helping children to achieve their goals and milestones, and seeing their personalities develop!

I also feel that there is such a lack of male professionals in Early Years roles, and I strive to be an example of why more men should work in the sector!

I have worked with young children for a number of years - I started my career in the Early Years sector as a private nanny, and then moved to working in nursery settings for 8 years, taking on both Room Leader and Deputy Manager roles, before starting my own family.

I enjoy working with children as part of a team. I love to see the children grow and develop & I like to be busy and always enjoy a new challenge!

I have 5 years of experience in early years, ranging from the baby room to preschool. I completed my level 2 and level 3 early years qualification through an apprenticeship. I love being a role in the children's development and enjoy every child's unique personality. I always want the best for the children in my care and will adapt my approach based on each individual child's needs and ways of learning. I am caring, empathetic and form strong bonds with the children. I am paediatric first aid trained too.

I am Sara, an Early Years Practitioner at Nuffy Nursery.

I started working here in October 2021 and have recently completed my Level 2 Early Years Qualification.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, and reading.

I have worked at Nuffy Day Nursery for a number of years after starting my career in the creche.

I enjoy working with children because I like building relationships with the children and their families.

One day, I would like to use my qualification to travel, and learn about Early Years Education around the world!

Hi, my name is Natasha and I have worked with children for over 5 years. 3 years of that time was in a Special Educational Needs school.

As I have experience of working with children with additional needs, I love to make a positive impact in supporting children with their individual needs.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my daughter, socialising with friends and going for walks.

I've worked with children for about 11 years. Within that time, I have worked as a Baby Room Leader and worked in a Toddler room for the majority of my career, stepping up to the Room Leader role for 3 years. I hold a level 3 qualification. I enjoy lots of messy play activities and like to utilise my creative skills within the nursery by creating story sacks and other fun activities!

Hi, my name is Mai.

I've always been keen to work with children and after having my son, I went to work in a nursery for a while whilst he was in the Preschool Room. Most of my experience has been in the Baby Room, but I've also worked with older children too!

I love watching the children grow and develop and now, after having my daughter, I have come to work at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery!

My spare time is mainly focused on my children; we love going on adventures and days out!

Hi! My name is Leah, and I've worked in the Early Years Sector for over 5 years. I have also completed my Foundation Degree in Early Childhood.

Being able to build positive relationships with the children and support their growth and learning in a way that they enjoy is one of the many reasons I enjoy coming to work!

In my spare time, I like to spend time with my friends and watch my favourite movies!

I have worked with children for almost 3 years, and I find it very enjoyable as I'm not only helping to shape and support their early development, but I also learn so much from the children every day and have fun being curious and supporting them to take calculated risks. I admire their never-ending energy and enthusiasm for everything!

In my spare time I enjoy being sociable and spending time with family and friends. Watching a film and going out for food are some of my favourite things to do!

I’ve been working with children since 2020 and have experience caring for children from 0 to 7 years. During this time, I have worked in nurseries and pre-schools, as well as nannying and childminding, and completed my Early Years Qualification. I enjoy carrying out crafty activities and experiments with resources that engage, fascinate and challenge children. I understand the importance of developing a good relationship with parents and providing a safe space for children.

Hi, I'm Jodie.

I am Level 3 qualified, and I have over 10 years of experience working with children in both Preschool and Primary School settings. Throughout this time, I have also supported children with a variety of Special Educational Needs.

In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family and friends. I have 2 children and lots of pets, so I'm always busy! I love music, films, going to the gym and a bit of dance fitness.

Most of all, I like to laugh and have fun!

I really enjoy working in a nursery with children because every day is different and full of new experiences. Each child has their own unique personality, which makes the job so rewarding. It’s lovely being a part of their growth and development, and it also feels good to work alongside the nursery team.

In my spare time, I enjoy going on holidays, shopping, spending time with loved ones, colouring, reading, and cooking or baking.

I have worked in the Early Years Sector for over 25 years!

I enjoy helping the children to develop, and supporting their imaginative play and story-telling. I also enjoy learning more about developments in Early Years by attending a variety of training courses to keep my knowledge up to date and provide me with fresh ideas on how best to support the children I look after!

Outside of work, I enjoy visiting National Trust properties as I have a keen interest in history!

Hi, I'm Vera and I am Level 3 qualified.

I was born in Lisbon, and my favourite place to be is at the beach!

My journey in Early Years began over ten years ago in London. I always enjoyed observing children's creativity and curiosity about the world around them. Through play, positive interactions, safe environments, communication and language, we can help every child to reach their full potential during their formative years.

I love that children live to the motto 'It's all about play!' everything else comes second!

I am Ray, the Nursery Chef.

I have worked at Nuffy Day Nursery for over 3 years.

I have a passion for nutrition and healthy eating!

I love working at Nuffy Day Nursery because the staff have a close family bond and are always putting the children's needs first!

Hi!

My name is Tanya, and I am the Lunchtime Assistant at Nuffy Day Nursery.

I have three daughters and enjoy walks and family game nights in my spare time!

I love working with the children as I like to see and be a part of their growth and development.

I enjoy planning engaging and creative activities that help children learn, explore and grow in confidence. I believe in creating a safe and welcoming environment where every child feels happy, secure and supported, and I value building strong relationships with both children and families.

Hi, I’m Robyn.

I have over 2 years of experience working with young children. I’ve always enjoyed working with children and helping to support them develop and grow.

I love spending time outdoors, whether it’s hiking, walking or discovering new places and scenery. I also love spending time with my pets!

I enjoy outdoor play and encourage the children to explore nature and their outdoor surroundings.

Hello! I'm Kelsey, the joint room lead in preschool. I've been in childcare for nearly eight years, and I absolutely love the variety each day brings! It’s so rewarding to be a part of shaping young minds and getting to be a part of their lives.

Hi,

I really enjoy this age group, as you can have such lovely conversations with the children, and their imaginations come out with the best ideas!

Hi,

I'm Shonagh. I've recently started my career in Early Years at Nuffy Nursery and am really enjoying it! I'm based in the Baby Room at the moment and have started my Level 3 Early Years Practitioner apprenticeship - it's so interesting to learn about how children develop and see this in practice in the nursery!
