Our MD Shortlisted for Business Person of the Year

Fantastic news! Our very own Mandy Naylor - MD of Little Tinkers - has been shortlisted for Business Person of the Year in the annual Brighouse Echo Business Awards!

Mandy is an ex-Brighouse Girls Grammar School pupil and is passionate about the local area.  When the opportunity arose for her to take over Little Tinkers in 2007, she grabbed it with both hands and the private day nursery has gone from strength to strength ever since.

In fact the Brighouse nursery received 'outstanding' for key elements in their last Ofsted report at the end of last year.

Mandy is honoured to be nominated for the award as it recognises the success of the nursery (both Brighouse and Hipperholme), as well as her other business venues which include The Taste Cafe Bar in Cleckheaton. 

We'll find out on 8 March if she's won, so keep your fingers crossed!

Little Tinkers' China Town

We recently celebrated Chinese New Year by turning our 'home corner' into an amazing Chinese restaurant and some of the children got dressed up in Chinese style clothing.  We even had a delicious Chinese banquet!

We always try to celebrate cultural festivities at Little Tinkers, from Chinese New Year and Diwali to St. George's Day.

Outdoor play is getting a makeover!

The outdoor play areas in both our Brighouse and Hipperholme nurseries are getting a makeover this year.

We have already made a start with an exciting new range of activity boxes so we can ensure that we make the most of all types of weather, from wind, to rain and snow. For example, our windy day box contains ribbons, streamers and bubbles to make playtime more fun and stimulating for the children in our care.

What other changes would you like us to make? We value the input of all parents so would really appreciate if you could spare a moment to let us know any ideas you have about improving these important parts of our nurseries.
