(Photograph) - Stephen Glen-Lee, nursery manager at Bo'ness Public Primary School in Falkirk, is leading the way for men in childcare in Scotland. He first came to the school in 1998 as a teacher of 10-and 11-year-olds, but is now in his second year of managing the school's nursery unit, where he sees his role as 'automatically challenging a gender-biased environment'. His enthusiasm has led to more fathers visiting the nursery and becoming parent helpers. He said, 'When some of them started to come in they were doing more traditionally male jobs, like putting up shelves, but now they help in the home corner and are involved in music sessions.'.
