Laura Hathaway is operations manager for childcare provider Tinies. She manages five kids clubs in central London.
‘Our kids clubs are open every weekday in the school holidays, including Christmas and half term. I’m based at the biggest site, 1 Victoria Street in Westminster, which is a conference centre and houses the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills. This is because the majority of the kids clubs I oversee are for children of Government department employees. Only one is open to the public, based in a school,’ she says.
