A training programme at Just Learning has encouraged 14 staff at its Newcastle nursery to embark on a degree programme.
Two have started to study for a foundation degree in Professional Care and Education and 12 will begin the course in September. Staff will attend organised night classes at the Riverside Children's Centre on North Tyneside and do work-based learning projects.
Victoria Solomon, the manager who is also taking the degree, said, 'It is exciting for me personally to be embarking on this course and to have so many colleagues opting to further their skills and qualifications. We encourage and help each other and I hope our experiences give others the confidence to follow suit.'
