Who am I?
My title it is changing,
I'm not sure who they mean,
When reading all the vacancies
In your magazine.
A Nursery Practitioner -
Must be Level * ,
Or Nursery Nurse to start next week,
A real NNEB.
A Nursery Educator
Sounds really rather formal,
An Officer or Worker,
That has to be more normal.
Nursery Staff or Personnel,
Qualified and caring,
An Education Worker too -
This one is job-sharing!
We all are true professionals,
We do the best we can,
To educate and care,
Observe, assess and plan.
So please decide our title -
Whether grand or plain,
Whatever you might call us,
The people stay the same!
Nursery nurses just need the recognition they deserve for the role they fulfil, alongside a host of other professionals involved with early years care and education - not 101 different job titles that just seem to dilute our importance even further.
