Asquith Nurseries, the UK's second largest nursery group, is undertaking a multi-million pound programme to refurbish its settings and train up to 1,000 staff to level 4. From May, all nursery employees will have the chance to enrol on the Open University Certificate in Early Years Practice, which is an open-access course. Asquith is fully funding it at a cost of around 1,000 per candidate. The course usually starts in February, but the OU is running an intake in May exclusively for the nursery group.

Tell MPs what we think of two-faced policies

    News
  • Wednesday, March 21, 2001
    • | Nursery World
Perhaps we should all stop waving our qualifications about on the pages of Nursery World and wake up and smell the coffee. And a very bitter brew it is.

It is not surprising that the decision to stay with NVQ 3 for persons-in-charge, managers, supervisors and deputies, and NVQ 2 for 50 per cent of other staff, has been released quietly. Such shameful lack of ambition and vision is nothing to be proud of. It only betrays vulnerable children and families.
