A Word
From Our Owner
I have worked at Brightstart Preschool for over 15 years and have seen many changes over the years!! I began my journey in 2005 being promoted to Deputy Manager, then Manager and finally taking over the reins in April 2018. I am very excited about this opportunity and keen to build upon, and continue the excellent provision Brightstart Preschool is renowned for. I am privileged to have a enthusiastic, caring and well qualified team supporting me, who are committed to providing a happy, safe and stimulating environment in which our preschoolers can develop and flourish. We hope that all the children in our care get to make many fond and pleasurable memories during their time spent at Brightstart Preschool.
