However, despite being a fully qualified nursery nurse myself, it is beginning to bore me immensely that almost every letter I read in Nursery World is a whiney one. For example, Lesley Weir from Glasgow (Letters, 27 June), moans about how little she earns in comparison to the teacher she works alongside and how she does exactly the same job.
May I reassure all people with the same views as Ms Weir that you do not do the same job as a teacher, nor do you deserve the same level of pay. I am not speaking without knowledge when I say this, as I am in my third year of a teacher training degree and have also worked in a nursery and alongside a teacher.
