Imelda and David Mihell, a husband and woman team, created Tiddlywinks Day Nursery in the summer of 1994, and the business formally opened its doors the following year.
As Tiddlywinks Day Nursery's operations director, it is my goal to organise and oversee initiatives that will increase the effectiveness and productivity of our nurseries.
Gaynor Mott is my name, and I started working with Tiddlywinks Day Nursery in early June 1999, when there was only one nursery located on Hill Lane in Blackley.
The 2019 Nursery Management Today Awards recognised Tiddlywinks Day Nursery as a finalist.
Mel & Dave won the award for Operational / Regional Directors of the Year!
