Phil Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Hi I heard a rumour and cant find where to find out if it is true. I heard that School Nurseries no longer Require Nursery Nurses even in a 26 place Teacher led Nursery. Although I haven't been on here for a while, the knowledge of you all has helped me in the past. Thanks Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catma Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 They have to have a level 3 or above plus a qualified teacher for 26 children. All still the ratios as defined in the statutory framework still in place! Cx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 A teacher is required if the school is running a nursery but if the school is running a preschool then a level 3 leader is required. With the way funding is going schools may suddenly close their nurseries and open preschools instead? My wages are lower than a teaching assistant which for me is unfair considering what I do. Trying to get it recognised is tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catma Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 maintained schools cannot close a nursery class - the LA has to propose it and consult. They have a duty to ensure enough childcare sufficiency and with 30 hrs looming i doubt they would1 cx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
