Have just read the report on nursery staff being poorly qualified. In my setting my owner/manager is L4 OU qualified and hoping to complete her l5 shortly I think she did it extra quick!!! I am working towards my l4 nvq and afterwards, if I can stand it, go for l5. One of our practitioners is working towards her l3 and the other (who is new to childcare) is working towards her l2.
When I achieve my l4, i doubt I will get any more money, but as one of the replies to the article says - you work in childcare coz you love it not for the money!!!
When we have all the degree level leaders in pre-school or nursery - where will the money come from to pay them their much higher wages - or will they just work for the same level of pay as us?? Don't think so somehow!!!
