What led you to a career in early years?
I have always had a caring nature but had never thought of a career with children. I was given a place at university to study fashion design and loved being creative, but two weeks before my A-level results I suddenly decided that I didn’t want to do that and enrolled on a HND in early childhood studies. I have never looked back. I love seeing how the children flourish while in our care. It’s the best part of my job.
What does a typical day for a regional ops manager involve?
Every day is different. One day I could be visiting nurseries to see how the managers and their teams are getting on. The next day I may be writing new initiatives, recruiting new staff, agreeing budgets, or updating policies.
