Position: Helps to run Little Monkeys Toddler Group in Lincoln
- Why did you decide to take up running the group?
The manager left for other employment. Originally three mums took thegroup on but found it too much, with looking after their own children aswell. Two other grandmothers and I agreed that we would take over, as wehad always helped make teas and coffees and packed equipment away.
- How many children attend the toddler group?
Thirty mums attend the group, which is held every Thursday morning atthe Grandstand in Lincoln. We try to do something different with thechildren each week. Coming up to Christmas the children will be makingcalendars and cards.
- How long did you work as a nursery nurse?
For 15 years in an infants school and a private nursery. I didn't reallywant to retire, but moved from Lancashire to Lincolnshire to be nearerto my grandchildren. I plan to run the toddler group as long as I can,even if they have to push me in in a wheelchair.
