We give 100 per cent commitment, care and attention to the children we work with.

This strike is not only about more pay - it is also about letting parents and the public know what nursery nurses do in terms of our duties, educating young children, and providing care and attention. We do not just play with children; our job is much more than that. But our salary does not reflect this.
