  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • I do get a lot of support and most questions I ask are answered however, I sometimes don't get told when training sessions are etc so I think that would help.

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    6/10

  • 9a. Would you recommend Childcare to a friend?
  • No


  • 9b. Why?
  • It is a good job and I do enjoy it however it's very tiring and not the best pay so even though I have loved it I would probably never work in a nursery again. It's long hours and I barely get any time to myself.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Childcare?
  • I would say have a long think about it first and make sure you are really passionate about it because the hours are quite long and it's quite a physical job. If you're really sure I think you can really enjoy it and it is a pretty rewarding job.
