I chose childcare because I didn't want to be stuck behind a desk or checkout, even though I could earn more doing that kind of work. I love working with children and I know that working in this sector can open many doors. - Kezzie - Nursery nurses' wages

One of the common problems I find in the nursery is that many parents are in too much of a rush to spend time to properly discuss their child's learning and development. Or, they push their child too hard and express concerns that they don't think their child is where they should be regarding their cognitive development. - Charley - Research project

It is very frustrating that a whole month's wages does not cover rent and council tax and bills, without even contemplating food and soap! - Anna - Nursery nurses' wages
