Daughter starting nursery job, expected unpaid early starts and late finishes

[Nurserynewby12]

My daughter is looking forward to beginning a new job this week in childcare. She interviewed really well and will be studying for a qualification too. This all seems great. I work in accounts so do not know much about nursery care work but she has told me she has to start fifteen minutes early every day and will have to stay later than her finish time if parents are late or cleaning needs to be done. Both of these early and late instances will apparantly be unpaid. I do not know about nursery things much but did think this is unpaid work and not legal? Is there different rules for nurseries? I think if this happens all time she is being exploited whether she gets a qualification or not? She does not know as she is new to this area of work. I want to protect her from being exploited but need views from childcare/employment lawyers? Anyone around from employment law or a nursery manager to advise?

What do other people do- do you roll into work at 9 - set up for another 5/10 minutes and then start working??

most jobs I’ve had you’ve got to start the work at x, you need to ready to actually start the work then. So time beforehand is needing for computer/ system etc to be on.

Though my main jobs have always been salaried rather than waged.

Several people have addressed this on the thread.

If you have to turn a computer/system on then that is work.

Normal in retail too, arrive early, set out tills, turn on any machines/ lights etc before opening on the dot. When I was managing I then redid rotas to reflect it, and immediately got grief from SMT.
Weekends on skeleton staff numbers so no breaks either. Complain and you find yourself managed out.
