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.

Dig deep

An area for digging - however small - offers opportunities for learning across the curriculum and through the seasons ven in the bleakest of outdoor play areas it is usually possible to create a small digging area where children can take on the role of gardener, excavator or farmer and explore nature in a real context. Such an area will provide rich learning experiences that change with the seasons and will prove invaluable in spring. Your setting may be lucky enough to have a flower bed or patch of lawn which can be dug over. If so, add some top soil if the earth becomes too compacted for the children to dig. Mark boundaries with low willow fences or milk crates to confine the soil to the designated area.

Yet again, I am in the process of writing off another bad debt run up by a family claiming working tax credit. These families are having money specifically to pay for childcare at my nursery, yet they spend it on something else. The Government clearly think this is all right, or they would be paying the nurseries direct, just like we all said they should in the first place.
