[@claudiaecua5793]

Never be nervous. Nurseries loves having people learning. They pay very low money per hour and in 1 month you will be working just like another level 3 qualified... so never over work just do enough and concentrate more in learning the EYFS once you have that and quickly do your course you can start esrning better money. You all should be doing interview to the managers to see if you like the nursery. You can always look for one where you can see the children well behaved and following a routine. Other ways is going to be stressing. But you dont really have no responsability just make sure children are clean safe and happy. So no nervous needed. I had those nerves but im telling you you are fine. I was a room leader.

This is very helpful, I've met the children and will be starting In September😁🥰can't wait to be a part of their journey

How is it

[@miwhitty8316]

@@Enlifted its a lot of work, and some days are more stressful than others, but overall I'm really enjoying it!

[@Enlifted]

@@miwhitty8316 I got a question so apprenticeships obviously pay you so little, are you ok with it or does it make you struggle with things? I’m looking to do a apprenticeship too but it’s always the pay that puts me off😭

[@BOO-sy2oz]

@@Enlifted the apprenticeship ship will pay off! If ur just 18, the minimum wage is 6 pounds anyway. So you could be doing a job thats 2 pounds more but have no experience at the end of it. The average salary for like a nursery manager is 27k. It’ll pay off - trust the process.

[@56independent]

wow! i would love to do this, earning a fair amount of money and helping little children in development

[@Bedtime_Bunny]

Unfortunately unless you're really passionate about the position apprentices don't earn a lot considering the work involved, when I started mine I was on £3.70 an hour.

[@56independent]

@@Bedtime_Bunny I wrote this comment three years ago. I don't even remember writing the coment nor watching the video and i now seek software development instead.

Hello how is it going ?

[@lauragg459]

How did it go?

[@AngelaMueller-x2k]

I'm considering changing my career at 40 to child-centred work, as this is an area in demand. I have worked with young people and adult students most of my life, from primary school aged to highschool and adult learners going to college/university. This would be a huge life change. I also have a baby on the way. Toileting does not bother me. As an Administration/Library for schools, I've been very removed from the personal interaction with children: only helping them with processes and using technology.

[@jessicaarteagarodriguez8945]

Oh that Exacting i have question they pay you in apprenticeship child care care worker that you do ?

[@niamhbayes]

Do you need to do a course at college, or can you just do an apprenticeship to become a nursery assistant? I really want to work at a nursery xx

[@misso3770]

If your in the UK go on the gov page for apprenticeships there might be some nurseries on there in your area.

Well if you have any local nurseries near you, you could first call up and see if they were offering any level 2 placements or you could go to any colleges near yiu and study childcare x

long painted nails a complete no - no!!! Health and safety. NOT your fault, it's your mentor and employer's fault for not telling you. Ditch the nails before they notice.

[@bethanygoldsworthy9573]

į į its true it could get someone into trouble if ofsted came and saw that. There was a lady at a nursery I was in with long falsies and she was trying to handle a toddler having a tantrum and those nails could've easily scratched the child and then she'd have to explain to the parents. Wouldn't be my way of working
