Degree benefits are immeasurable

I would like to respond to the feature 'The first degree' (16 May) as I feel the article painted a rather gloomy picture of the benefits for early years practitioners of studying for an Early Childhood Studies degree. The article acknowledged that such degrees can provide a route into teaching, and other careers, but then it reverted to the ongoing issue of low pay and inadequate career progression for early years practitioners. Only a limited range of views was presented. A more balanced perspective might have been offered if more students, and those on part-time degrees (combining studying with early years work) had been included.

I am a nursery nurse working in a primary school reception class. I have the qualifications the NAMCW Advanced Certificate in Childcare and Education, NAMCW Conversion to Diploma and NAMCW Certificate in Nursery management. When completing the courses we were told NAMCW (National Association for Maternal and Child Welfare) would no longer exist and that it would now be called CACHE (Council for Awards in Children's Care and Education). Unfortunately, few people recognise my qualification and when trying to obtain a degree, my qualifications do not count in the same way as CACHE.

If agencies were registered, Julia says, 'Parents would be able to select an agency secure in the knowledge that it adhered to strict vetting procedures. And they would be able to claim the new tax credit introduced on 6 April.'
