Greg Lane has worked at several different settings, working his way up to manager at Colville Nursery Centre, Notting Hill, a LEYF nursery.
In this podcast he discusses the next stage in his career – an MA in Applied Theatre, which sounds amazing!
During the podcast we touch on the current recruitment crisis in Early Years, the different ways that theatre can be brought to Early Years and how he started in the Early Years sector himself.
When there are more details to share about Greg’s Early Years theatre projects, I will post them on here for you.
Enjoy!

Conor Bathgate is the Deputy Manager at Lisson Green Community Nursery, in Westminster, London. In this interview he talks about being a young man in Early Years (he is only 21 and already a Deputy Manager); his research on cohort tracking and how to identify the areas of good practice; and how overcoming difficulties at work in a professional way has increased his self-confidence.
Conor has an extremely positive attitude to both his own job role and the Early Years sector in general. This is summed up in his own words “My job makes me so happy”. This is a real feel-good interview – enjoy!

Gary Simpson is the Lead for Quality Learning and Development for London Early Years Foundation (LEYF). He holds an NNEB and has worked in every echelon of the nursery, including Nursery Nurse and Head of Children’s Services.
He has the most unusual reason for entering into the profession, and strongly encourages men to join support networks to feel less isolated in their roles.
Here Gary discusses the very wide variety of work and families that LEYF support in London and offers some tried and tested techniques for becoming more ‘men-friendly’. He points out that ‘Not everyone is aware that childcare is even an option for men’.
