Those in the private nursery sector are among the lowest paid and least respected employees in the UK. I am qualified to degree level and earn 5.10 an hour. I will soon retrain to teach in the 16-plus sector because the pay is better and I might get treated like the professional that I am. When will the sector realise that if you want high-quality provision and committed staff, you have to treat them like professionals and not glorified char ladies?
