Becoming a nursery owner

Hello,
I am very keen to set up my own nursery...in the future. I am just about to go to college and gain my 'Early Years Foundation Degree' but I am worrid about the change that will be happening in 2010. You will then be only able to run a nursery with a dregree, what happens if you already have a nursery? And also, is there anyway of running a nursery without having a degree and just the Foundation degree? I would be also very grateful for any information regarding setting up a nursery. Thanks.

The propriator at our Nursery School does not have a degree, she has done a management course and employs a Nursery Manager to deal with the day to day running of the Nursery, however it doesn't seem easy as she is constantly in dealing with pay/children/staff problems which inevitably arise in a Nursery full of women...infact this seems to be the hardest issue...

Hello I am planning to set up my own nursery. I am fully qualified to work with children. I have worked as a Social Worker for 8 years. I have worked with children, also in nurseries, for 7 years. I would like some more information on how to set up a nursery. If It is better to buy a property or existing nursery or to rent a property. What step do I take first? All advise that can be given will be much appreciated. Regards

Hi

I don't know a great deal about what qualifications and/or experience you actually need to set up a nursery but we actually insure quite a few nurseries throughout the UK and having spoken to them over the years I wrote a few articles about avoiding the common mistakes when setting up a nursery.

Not sure I can post a URL here so if you'd like a link send me an email to markb@northerncounties.com
