Sharon Brooks has been appointed as Service Manager and brings with her over 14 years of commitment and experience in early learning. Sharon is supported by a team of ten teaching practitioners with the Service offering 94 spaces for children. Conveniently located in the heart of Mitchelton on Sussex Street just a hop, skip and a jump away from Brookside Shopping Centre, the Service was developed to ensure that children are being provided with exciting opportunities. Jam packed with challenges for them to play and grow in an innovative and stimulating environment, Busy Bees at Mitchelton is a safe place where your child’s individuality can be nurtured by dedicated Teaching Practitioners and Educators.

Service Manager

Sharon Brooks

Service Manager

Hello, my name is Sharon Brooks and I am the Service Manager for Busy Bees at Mitchelton. I have been very fortunate to work in the Early Childhood Education and Care sector now for 14 years.

I started my working career in an office environment and worked in finance for 20 years. I recognised that I had a desire to work with children and when I had my own child, this highlighted it further. This developed into a successful family day care business that I owned in England for ten years, until I left for Australia. I was very proud when I was rated ‘Outstanding’ by the UK licencing body, OFSTED.

My mission as a Service Manager is to support and provide the best early learning environment where all children can thrive, and to forge warm and nurturing relationships with children and their families. I also believe that professional development supports continuous improvement for Educators, children and families alike.

I advocate for children to learn through play, in an environment which they can feel safe and secure. We’re all far more interested in things if we’re having fun, after all! I love helping children to investigate their environment and explore their boundaries. Under my care, I believe children are encouraged to believe that “they can.”

I look forward to meeting you and your family.
