Nursery World - Unfair to judge us all (1)

I would like to say how wrong I think F McCallum's letter (26 August) is. I am in the middle of training to be a nursery nurse. Most courses last around two years and involve lots of teaching on all aspects of looking after children, as well as practical training in several placements. At the two placements I have done so far, all the staff treated the children well and with respect. They also all had a genuine love of being with the children. Most nurseries aren't at all like the three nurseries shown in 'Nurseries Undercover'. I don't think it is fair to judge all nursery nurses on a few who do treat the children badly.

I think nursery nurses do an excellent job and don't deserve this kind of abuse. Keep up the good work!
