Teddies nursery manager sets the standard at excellence awards 5 July 2005 A Bexleyheath nursery manager has been singled out for her outstanding contribution to childcare at a prestigious award ceremony held at the Royal Opera House in London. Mandy Penfold has helped her Teddies Nursery to become the first within the Bupa-run group, and only the tenth in the UK, to gain a Quality Counts national childcare award, part of the government’s Investors in Childcare programme. At a gala luncheon she was announced as the winner of an Annual Excellence Award as part of Bupa’s One Life Awards. Carole Edmond, managing director of Teddies says: “Over the past five years Mandy has led her team through major change, expansion and refurbishment. Her continuous drive, dedication, determination and excellent management skills have improved parental involvement and engaged her whole team in excelling in childcare. "Parents, managers and her team hold her in the highest regard and I’m delighted she’s been recognised in this way." This year a record number of people have been recognised within Bupa for the excellence of their work, from significant one-off achievements to sustained commitment, loyalty, enthusiasm and care. As part of the One Life Awards 1400 employees were initially nominated at a local level for excelling within their role. This was then whittled down to 47 and from this number 10 people were finally chosen to receive an Annual Excellence Award. Recognition scheme manager Sally Gardiner, who organises the annual event, says: "All these people have made a significant personal contribution to realising Bupa’s vision of ‘taking care of the lives in our hands’. "They epitomise the rich diversity of talent and expertise of Bupa employees and highlight how our staff are prepared to readily go beyond the call of duty and exceed all expectations." Also announced at the awards luncheon were the winners of Bupa’s Idea of the Year Awards. Eight individuals were chosen from dozens of employees recognised for innovation in business. Bupa employees from all over the world, including people from the UK, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, Spain, Thailand and Australia attended the One Life Awards event.
