Dr Lloyd, a Reader in Early Childhood at the University of East London, was a member of the co-production steering group set up by the the coalition’s then children’s minister Sarah Teather to work in partnership with the sector on developing early years policy.
Dr Lloyd, who has Dutch nationality, is named on the 2013 Foreign Office honours list after being nominated by the Department for Education.
Commenting on her award, Dr Lloyd said, ‘If there can be anything approaching a group OBE, mine must be it, since it reflects the hard work of all the early childhood sector and DfE colleagues who were involved in the co-production process during the first half of this Coalition Government. Naturally I am grateful to them all and treasure all that I learned from that process.’
