Hi, I have been living in England for three years and I worked as a nursery assistant in two differents nurseries. To day I am back to France and I passed an exam in order to work in France with children. I defenitively miss England, the language, your culture,... That 's why I write you this letter. I would like to find someone to talk about the way we work with children and their parents. I bet we can get a lot from these discussions.

Hello Vivi, I am currently working towards a BA in Nursery Management and for part of the latest module I hve to compare my setting with a european one. After reading your post I was wondering if you wouldn't mind being my siunding board for this next problem. If posible coul I send you a list of questions etc to compare how your nursery runs with mine/ Dont worry if you dont fancy it, it was just a thought!!!! Thanks

Hi Janny and Vivi,

just wondered if you guys were still on this forum, and if so, could you give me a hand at all - I am wanting to research the process of becoming a nanny in France and the difference in qualification (if there are any) between the UK and France.

 I hope I am not too late and can get some information from either or both of you!

Many thanks

Helen

Hi what age children do you work with? I work for a private day nursery and was wondering if the children you work with would be interested in setting up a penpal system between the uk and france? just basic letters and pictures etc, as I think this would benefit the children loads?

Hi Mia,

I work with children aged 6 months to around 6/7 yrs old. The only thing is that the children I work with are english as it is nannying for english clients/holiday makers.

If you like, when I am back in France, I can investigate into the local school to see if they are involved in anything like this and see what they say? I think its a school from aounr 4yrs to 10yrs, would this fit in with your age group? Maybe we can set something up!
