I’ve worked in day nurseries for 7 years. 5 in a previous setting and 2 in current setting and i don’t enjoy any part of my working day. I thought it was maybe my last setting that was the issue and found another setting but i feel exactly the same way. Hours are long, behaviour from some of the children is mentally exhausting with no support from management. Constant staff meetings and mandatory training outside of work hours, rota doesn’t go up until Friday evening so never know my shifts until last minute to plan things, lazy staff, parents we have to tip toe around, not enough qualified staff, the list could go on! Any one else’s nursery like this?
