It is exciting as well as challenging \u2013 with new legislation, governance and frameworks that we work to, in addition to OFSTED and other inspections.<\/p>\n<p>In the early days, as well as looking after the children we had to cook their lunch and tea and some staff still wore nurses uniforms. We had limited resources but the children still loved it.<\/p>\n<p>I have looked after thousands of children over the years and met many memorable and interesting people. The most rewarding part of the role, as well as supporting the children and parents, is when children return as adults and they have such fond memories of being at EYEC.\u00a0 Seeing what they achieved makes me feel proud that I have been part of their early development.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy being part of the Imperial community and contributing to supporting the work that happens here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I joined the College in 1988 and started working with babies in a very small nursery of 33 children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1220,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
