Nursery World - Letter: Elusive qualifications

After reading Carol Webb's letter ('Count the levels', 28 June) I feel she speaks for many early years professionals.

I agree that early years workers should be highly qualified and haveaccess to high quality training to enable them to progress and gain thenecessary skills to carry out their particular role.
