”Hi, I am Lucy. I have been working in the Early Years sector for almost 11 years, I hold a BA Hons in Early Years for which I studied alongside my work. I love to work with children and their families, offering a supportive and nurturing environment for their little ones to develop and grow. I believe working in Early Years should be fun and joyful; it is one of the best jobs in the world! I joined Stars Day Nurseries in February 2020 and I moved to work at Little Stars in the summer of 2024. I thoroughly enjoy my job, working with some amazing and inspirational people. ”
