EYFS regulatory changes consultation
SCP replied to mundia's topic in Early Years Setting Management
Agree & disagree Observation & evidence collecting is necessary for all the reasons given. But not if it’s to the detriment of the children you are caring for. Children first paperwork second! NO to level 2 being counted as staffing levels. We need highly qualified, well paid, motivated staff-not a race to the bottom. Many European countries have been at higher levels of education for staff for a long time. Why not in the UK? Because childcare is not valued as a career, those who stay at home have No status & questions that ask your job still Have HOUSEWIFE as the only option for caring in the home. And no-one bats an eyelid about this-It’s 2023 not 1943! Its discriminating, demeaning, degrading and downright disgusting- ALL OF IT I am tired of justifying my career choices and status when I shouldn’t have to We are worth Status, Pay and recognition the same as Teachers,Nurses, Carers and all the other professions who work hard-without us does society function or die?

Can anyone direct me to a definitive answer for NNEB level 3 status for 1987?!!!! The school I am working for won’t recognise my certificate because the wording on it does not match the exact wording on the D of E list of approved qualifications. D of E states it has to be an exact match-when that is not possible. This is just plain stupid-who compiled the list & from looking at how many certificates? I worked really hard to gain my NNEB. There are lots of wording variations for the NNEB certificate pre 1990s which don’t match D of E-is everyone else still in employment working without level 3 full compliance? Fellow students I know are in EYFS settings & have been since qualification. Ive worked in private childcare for the last 30+years mostly through agencies ( including one run by my course tutor) & this has never been flagged! There was an article by Steve in here clarifying NNEB level 3 status with a link-now expired-does this have the answer I’m looking for? Where do I go to CLARIFY this nonsense? Has anyone got clarity from D of E who will know the answer? Any other suggestions to solve this welcome. Am trying to do a job to help a child at risk of exclusion and now find myself in the same position. Ironic but not funny.
