How long have you been qualified?
Is it difficult to achieve that level?

Hi. I have been qualified 22 years! I mainly worked as a nanny then had my children and started up as a childminder and then had a baby and was back at work after 4 weeks, took 5 weeks off in total. A job then came up at the local preschool and I have been there ever since...
There are a couple of relief staff who are my age but there is no support out out there

Do you think children should be starting school age 4?

Did you fall into it or was it your calling?
What do you think of new apprentices coming up?
LivingMyBestLifeNOT · 19/11/2020 22:53
I didnt fall into it, I knew thats what I wanted to do.
I do love my job. The apprentices I am not sure..... It took me 3 years at college to complete me course...

Hello there. What support is needed?

I see a fair few early 20s girls who fell into as it’s an easy vocational pathway. And they just don’t care of have the disposition.
I think it should be much better paid and qualified as it is a crucial role for our society. But it’s not valued.
