Original Post

I have recently turned down a job as deputy nursery manager in a private nursery in yorkshire the reason? Only £5,000 a year! I have been out of the industry for four years due to having a family but I feel there should be something done for the ones in private nurseries they charge enough in fees surely they can afford to match what the councils pay?When you compare not just the difference in wages but also they amount of holidays per year its pretty obvious the nursery nurses in privete nurseries get a rough deal and its not very easy to get a job in a council school either I've been qualified 13 years and the only jobs I've been offered in a school is non teaching assistant I used to be deputy manager of a private nursery before I had my family and there is no way am I going to restart my career as an assistant or as a deputy manager for £5,000 a year its an insult
