Sorry to mislead anybody but I did not say that there is no one in private daycare capable of doing a degree but I was speaking from experience of a particular setting were no staff are able to take up the role of EYP without first getting a degree.As children's centres need to have an EYP by 2010 and some do not have anyone working towards or with a degree now then they are not capable of getting the required qualifications in time. Only yesterday I was talking to a friend who is an excellent practitioner with over 9 years exp, she has been asked by her manager to do the EYPs course but first she will need to do a degree plus get her GCSEs so this will be over 3 years hard slog that she does not feel it is worth while. I agree that not all nurseries are the same and not all staff have the same ability some level 3 staff would have the capabilities of meeting the EYP standards quite easily but are not eligible at present, this could be another reason why this role will be resented by some people.
