Nicola Edwards

Welsh Government
Nicola Edwards has shown outstanding leadership navigating unparalleled challenges created by the pandemic. She brought clarity and vision to the task of temporarily closing the Childcare Offer for Wales, replacing it with a scheme to enable parents who are critical workers to do their jobs, and support vulnerable families. Always thinking of the future, she co-produced solutions to sustain the childcare and play sector, supporting parent employability, our economy, and child development.
