As vacancies arise and new posts are created, nursery classes attached to schools in Falkirk are to be staffed by a senior early years officer, supported by a number of early years officers. There will be input from a teacher within the school for a time varying from one day to half a week, depending on the size of the class, to support the curriculum, planning, assessment, monitoring and staff development.
Under the new deal, nursery nurses and nursery officers working for Falkirk council have had their job titles changed to early years officers. A senior role previously only existed in local authority day nurseries and children's centres.
