Nursery World - Aim for a degree

I read the letter 'Degree snobbery' (1 February) and would like to clarify one point in particular. I am currently a student on a BA degree course in early childhood studies which requires hands-on experience to back up the theory. Without it, the course would be unachievable due to the need to complete child studies. I also have the Pre-school Learning Alliance Diploma in Pre-school Practice, and have been a pre-school leader and development worker for many early years areas. I believe degree status is the way forward in being recognised as professionals and I recommend this course to all early years workers.
