My wife's boss has said she would be happy to take me on for my placement/experience as she knows me so well, so I am giving serious thought to obtaining a Level 2 NVQ. I do wonder through how long I could work in childcare as I am already 35 and a man may be less accepted by parents once he gets to 40+, I'm not sure. My wife thinks I may be better to move onto a Teaching/Classroom Assistant position in a school for the long run, but I have always found the moulding years of 2-5 the most rewarding with bringing up our own children. Our now 7 year old has been through my wife's Nursery, and our soon to be 2 year old will start soon also. I shall be doing some serious thinking anyway. Not haveing to attend College regularly makes it more appealing as I wouldn't have to deal with the remarks and sniggers from younger women doing their qualification.
