Come on, lads

I am a male nursery assistant working in Rossett House Nursery and I am disappointed that more men do not work in the early years care profession. Society is changing its perception of men's and women's roles, with more men taking the traditional role of homemaker. So why more men aren't pursuing childcare as a career, I don't know. Working with children is so rewarding. I love my job and would never want to change it.

It would be nice to see more men follow this career path and change this stereotypical career pattern.
