basilbrush Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 can someone tell me what the difference is between a nursery nurse and an early years assistant - just looked round a beautiful nursery class in an early childhood centre where there is a vacancy and was told there was a nursery nurse and an early years assitant in each class - legal requirement as I understand it - but what is the difference between them Sorry, a bit of a muddled post!!! Thanks for your help Quote
Andreamay Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 i would of thought supervisor and play worker Quote
Guest Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 It could be nursery nurse and assistant as in teaching/classroom assistant but cant really call them that if not in school/classroom. Quote
Guest Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 I would think that the nursery nurse has a qualificatin and that the early years assistant may not. They may have some sort of qualification but not as high as that of the nursery nurse. I am assuming there is no teacher in the classroom so the nursery nurse would be the person in charge. In Stockport most of our nurseries have a qualified teacher and a nursery nurse. Linda Quote
Rea Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 Wouldnt it be nice if everyone in early years had the same kind of title. Something we could all understand. Wasnt there a discussion on titles a while back? Quote
