JUDY CUNNINGHAM - Director , Level 4
Judy is a dedicated professional with a passion for childcare since 1995. Holding an NVQ level 4 in childcare, learning, and development, Judy embarked on her journey by opening Baby Bears Day Care in July 2010, initially at her home in Monkston, Milton Keynes. In October 2011, she relocated to a purpose-built nursery in Grange Farm, Milton Keynes. Judy's decision to establish Baby Bears Day Care stemmed from her own experience as a parent when her third son was born in 2008. Dissatisfied with the options available, she embarked on the mission to create a nurturing environment for children, inspired by her own children, who continue to be her driving force in ensuring the best nursery experience for every child. |
