Nursery CEO to cycle hundreds of miles for charity

Nursery staff at the Childbase Partnership are embarking on a 767-mile sponsored cycle ride to visit each of the group’s 47 nurseries in aid of a charity set up in memory of a colleague.

Childbase chief executive Mike Thompson, operations director Lynda Gostelow, and four other members of staff hope to raise £50,000 for the Sue Andrews Foundation, which was established in memory of a Childbase Partnership director who died last year.

The team aims to visit all 47 nurseries in the group over two weeks, covering 90 miles a day starting at the Miles House setting in Bath on 3 August and finishing at Meadow View in Buckinghamshire on the 16 August.

Each nursery in the group, which is the 10th largest employee-owned company in the UK, will host its own ‘wheely big event’ as part of the challenge, with staff, children and parents taking part in sponsored events using anything with wheels, from bicycles to buggies.
