Elizabeth has worked in a variety of early years settings over the past fifteen years; an out of school play club, as a teaching assistant in a Reception classroom, as a childminder (for six years), as a lead practitioner in a busy day nursery and as a practitioner in a pack away preschool. She also writes regularly for practitioner magazines.

Elizabeth studied her BA (hons) Early Years with The Open University for six years before embarking on Early Years Initial Teacher Training at the University of Brighton. She continues to study and has completed a Master's Research degree in Childhood Studies.

Elizabeth's main area of focus is children's transitions. She has seen first hand how children can struggle when faced with change and seeks to find out how to best support children in their unique situations. Her 'Transition Story Books' range has been born out of this interest and each book was written specifically for particular children Elizabeth was caring for at the time.
