Our Trustees

Sarah Braddon

My name is Sarah. I was keen to be involved with the direction and service of the nursery and became a trustee in 2023. I feel that my background gives me the knowledge to provide beneficial input to Bizzy Bees as an operational childcare charity.

Knowing how crucial experience and interaction is for a child's personal and social development, I have seen first-hand that the childcare provided by Bizzy Bees as a whole is excellent and the nursery is a real asset to the families in our community, long may it continue!

I am a teacher in the local community and I feel that my educational background is a great asset when it comes to making decisions around nursery teaching. I enjoy attending meetings to contribute towards the running of the nursery.

Hi, I'm Joshua. At present, I have one daughter that has attended Bizzy Bees since she was under a year old. I live locally and I attended Bizzy Bees when it was a small playgroup that operated from the local church hall. I wanted to join the trustee team to support the nursery as it is such an integral part of Beighton and the surrounding area.

I'm Philip Stevens “When I was asked whether I wanted to become a trustee of Bizzy Bees nursery, I didn’t hesitate in saying yes. I have been impressed with the care given to my little one in the baby room & just how easy it was to talk to the staff if I had any worries.
Since becoming a trustee I have appreciated just how dedicated and hard working the staff are & as someone who works professionally, we have also appreciated their professionalism “

I have two daughters, the oldest has been at Bizzy Bees since she was 9 months old and she absolutely loves it - it’s been amazing to see how much she’s developed since going to the nursery.  I became a trustee to support the nursery in the best way I can. 

 

Amy Sulley

I am Laura and became a trustee in 2021. My eldest child attended Bizzy Bees from 9 months to 4 years old. They enjoyed attending and were really supported with their early education. This led to me deciding to become a trustee to support the nursery. My youngest child now attends too.

 

Rachel Clemitshaw

I'm Rachel and I have got a daughter currently in the 2-3 room. I'm a teacher at Brook House Juniors and I have been a trustee since October 2021. I joined the trustees as I wanted to support the Bizzy Bees team in continuing to provide the amazing care that they do for so many children.  

My daughter has had such a fantastic experience attending Bizzy Bees so far and I look forward to becoming more involved with the lovely staff at the nursery through my role as a trustee. 

 

 

 

 

Would you like to have a say in how Bizzy Bees operates?

Bizzy Bees is a non-profit making, charitable organisation that is governed by a Board of Trustees. The nursery is not owned by anyone and any profits made must be used to help improve the running of the Nursery in some way. The Trustees are usually made up of Parents and Grandparents of children attending the Nursery. However you can become a Trustee if you simply feel that you have an interest in Bizzy Bees and how the Nursery operates, regardless of whether your child attends. So if you are not interested in becoming a Trustee but know someone who might be, please ask them to contact the Nursery.

The role of a Trustee involves attending evening meetings at the Centre approximately once every 6 weeks. However, you do not need to attend every meeting as long as there are enough Trustees at each meeting (4 minimum) to be able to vote on issues raised. The Trustees discuss all aspects of the running of the Nursery from wage increases to fees charged and from fundraising to customer care.
The Trustees vote together on issues raised, therefore no one is expected to make a decision alone. If you think that you may be interested in becoming a Trustee, please speak to either Lisa Burgin or Linda Stoney in the manager’s office or call the nursery between 7.30am and 6.30pm.
