About Me – Ifrah Ahmad

Hi, I’m Ifrah Ahmad, the founder of Gigglebean Nursery. My journey in childcare began long before Gigglebean existed. I have always been passionate about creating nurturing environments where children feel safe, confident, and encouraged to be themselves. Over the past 15 years, I have worked as a childcare manager and run another setting in Bradford, supporting children and families from a wide range of backgrounds. These experiences have shaped my belief in the importance of personalised care and in the magic of learning through play.

Gigglebean Nursery was born from my desire to offer something truly special—a warm, flexible, and family-focused setting where every child is treated as an individual. I am deeply committed to creating a space where children can develop at their own pace, build confidence, and reach their full potential. At Gigglebean, children are supported, families are listened to, and every little achievement is celebrated.

Our Promise

At Gigglebean, we foster an environment where every child is valued, respected, and supported. Our curriculum and daily practices are carefully planned and continuously reviewed to ensure they are fully aligned with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). We place children at the heart of everything we do, nurturing their curiosity, independence, and love for learning. Every child’s journey is unique, and we are committed to helping them thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.
