A nursery group director and a campaigner for nanny regulation are among those recognised for their work in early years on the King’s New Year Honours list for 2024.
Tricia Pritchard, the founder of the British Association for Professional Nannies, who has worked for over 30 years to raise the profile of nannies in the sector, has been awarded an MBE for services to childcare and early years.
‘I’d like to take the opportunity to express my gratitude to those in the sector I’ve worked so closely with for over 30 years,’ Pritchard said.
‘In particular, I’d like to pay tribute to all those wonderful individuals and organisations who supported the Regulation Matters Campaign, the campaign for the registration of nannies and the regulation of nanny agencies. I had the pleasure of chairing the campaign for several years.'
