JUDY CUNNINGHAM - Director
Judy Cunningham has worked with children since 1995. She holds an NVQ level 4 in childcare, learning and development. Judy opened Baby Bears Day Care in July 2010 at her home in Monkston, Milton Keynes before moving to a purpose built nursery in Grange Farm in October 2011. Judy decided to open Baby Bears Day Care, when her 3rd son was born in 2008 and she was looking to go back to work. After looking at a number of nurseries for him, she decided to start her own journey in her own nursery. Since then, both her son and her daughter have been her inspiration to make nursery life for children as best it can be. |

"Being a parent myself to two beautiful girls, it is important to have people you can trust to look after your children. The feeling you have when someone adores, nurtures and protects your child like you would yourself is a huge relief when you have to go to work. I pride myself and the team at Baby Bears Day Care in being able to deliver this." "For me getting to know lots of different families is the best part of the job. Knowing the little quirks and the favourite toy of the month for all our children and what they get up to outside of our care is fantastic. The relationships we have, to me feel like extended family, and it is great feeling being part of that in a child's early years." |
