Liz Roberts to leave Nursery World after 26 years

Liz joined Nursery World in 1996 as Features Editor and in 1997 became Editor of what was then a weekly magazine. She has overseen its editorial development into a brand with a major digital presence through its website and social media channels, plus online and face-to-face events and resources, including the Nursery World Awards, conferences, webinars, EYFS Essentials training videos and Exchange business meetings for nurseries and suppliers.

In April 2021, she moved to a part-time role as Editor-in Chief, overseeing editorial operations as well as focusing on new developments and brand extensions.

Liz has steered Nursery World through many major changes to the media landscape and 15 children’s ministers, always keeping its great reputation as the early years sector’s voice and provider of news, information, advice and best practice at the forefront, and ensuring huge loyalty to the brand. She has been a member of sector working groups, a trustee of Daycare Trust and currently CREC (a role she will continue to fill), chaired many conferences and has frequently been asked to commentate on early years matters by TV, radio and national press.
