Don't wait for it

Until the work done by nursery nurses across the country is properly recognised, I would recommend childcarers go and study for a degree at university. I am now a training provider, but when I was a nursery nurse I worked alongside newly-qualified teachers, supporting children in their classes. If the Government improved the status and pay for nursery nurses, maybe more people would want to enter the profession.
