Suzanne McCafferty

Director

I opened Carebears Childrens Nursery Ltd in January 2014 after gaining 5 years’ experience in the early year’s sector. Previous to this, I had 20 years’ experience in the financial industry, undertaking many managerial positions. As a mother of 3 who used private nurseries, my goal was always to open a nursery and provide a safe and stimulating environment for children to learn and develop through play.
