I am also deeply unhappy with the setting of NVQ level 3 as a minimum entry requirement for becoming a nursery manager. NVQ qualifications are as variable as the colleges that provide them. I have seen some appalling courses and the students don't come within reach of the average CACHE or BTec student.
This is indeed all part of the Government's drive to dumb down early years education and to make nursery provision on the cheap.
