Not only is a waste of time it is a slap in the face for those of us that are experienced and knowledgeable.
I read on another forum, about a newly qualified EYPS who had just secured a post as a Pre School Supervisor because of her EYPS status, BUT she was on the forum asking for advice on how to run the room, how to plan, what activities to provide etc etc. Because she had NO experience with pre school children !!!!!! Can you honestly tell me that this person is better qualified to do her job that someone with many years experience of pre school children but not a graduate ? I think not !!!! The children will undoubtedly have a better learning experience from a knowledgeable, qualified, experienced Nursery Nurse than a newly qualified inexperienced EYPS, with no real working knowledge of pre school children to draw on.
But you are right Bobcat, until the Government assists the PVI sector with salaries, Graduates, nor, more importantly Nursery Nurses will ever achieve better salaries. Sad but true, and not likely to change.
