  Sylvia Back Centre Manager
MSc
My husband Bram and I came to manage the Carfax Hotel back in 1970. During those early years of juggling work and childcare (Tim below will testify to the difficulties!), I saw the need for a not-for-profit child care facility in Bath's centre and thought Carfax's then unused basements would be an ideal venue. Sometime later the Mews was finally set up in 1991 and I have been OFSTED's named person since then, taking a keen interest in the steering committee and Mew's business side.
