Nursery World - Reward commitment

In reply to Shirley Brooks (Letters, 25 January), I agree with every point she makes about Early Years Professional recruitment. It is just a pity that the Government isn't listening to what is been said across the breadth of the country. Our profession has low pay and poor recognition, combined with a never-ending amount of extra training and paperwork. That's not to mention the legislation and legal requirements we have to adhere to.

For the sake of our children it is about time we had a pay structure that rewards, attracts and allows us to retain staff.
