Let down yet again
Nursery World,
13 June 2002
While I realise classroom assistants do a great job, I feel let down that nursery nurses, who have been trying both nationally and locally for a re-grading for many years - the last in Scotland being 20 years ago - are being bypassed again, with some councils even talking about downgrading them. Nursery nurses have to go to college for a minimum of two years while many classroom assistants train while on the job, yet some could be earning up to £20,000 while we nursery nurses at the top of our scale get just over £13,000.
