Nursery World - Welcome academy

I am a Montessori teacher who, like many other Montessori teachers, works in the private sector. I welcome the plan by the National Day Nurseries Association to launch an Academy for the Early Years (News, 3 April), as I feel it will give greater recognition to all the hard work of the people who work in the childcare industry. Not only that, but if people ever find themselves in the position, as I do, of occasionally having to find a job during the long holidays, then it would make it much easier for us to register with agencies which could find work for us.

Not only that, but if people ever find themselves in the position, as I do, of occasionally having to find a job during the long holidays, then it would make it much easier for us to register with agencies which could find work for us.

This Academy will give people, future employees and agencies better clarification of what it is that those of us who work in the childcare industry, with all our different qualifications, are qualified to do.
