Our Team

As a family-run business, Bumbles Day Care reflects the passion, values and lifelong commitment of Patsy Maxwell, whose dedication to early years care has shaped the setting from the very beginning.

At Bumbles, we recognise that our team is at the heart of everything we do. Our settings are supported by a wide range of dedicated professionals, from our ratio-driven practitioners who work directly with the children, to our Cooks and Management team who help ensure the nursery runs smoothly each day.

"Bumbles has grown to be it's own little village, and it is the strength and commitment of our team that truly impacts the growth and development of every child."

Meet our Senior Leadership Team

Bumbles Senior Leadership Team works closely together to guide, support, and inspire our teams, ensuring high-quality care across every setting.

Each setting is required to have an accredited ‘Person in Charge’ who is supernumerary (ex-ratio), providing strong leadership and oversight. At Bumbles, our aim is to go a step further by developing flexible Managers who can confidently support and cover across all settings, building meaningful relationships and truly getting to know every child and family.

With a focus on collaboration, wellbeing, and a commitment to continuous improvement, our senior team are committed to create a positive and nurturing environment for all of our team, children, and families.
