Nursery World - Supporting Level 3

I could relate to everything that Julie Kent and Annette Jerram said in their column ('In my view', 7 December). I, too, believe that if the Government is not careful we are going to lose our already diminishing Level 3 qualified staff. The article on the Transformation Fund ('Special report', 7 December) highlights what we as professionals are crying out for.
