EXPERIENCE

As an NNEB I started off in Birmingham's public health department and then moved into hospital work. In the early days of bringing up my family I worked as a childminder and playgroup supervisor and later on moved through a variety of roles, including community outreach worker, lecturer and assessor for early years childcare courses, and manager for Family Learning Projects across the West Midlands. In 2000 I became an Ofsted nursery inspector, then moved into local authority posts, becoming manager for Early Years Development and Childcare Partnership Education and Children's Services at Sandwell in 2003. In 2006 I took over my current position.
