More About the Team 

What can I Expect Working in Childcare?

Working in childcare is varied and you’ll show an aptitude to nurture your charges. Nursery workers and nannies have the ability to put the safety and needs of children first, they employ worthy values and aim to provide the maximum level of care. At the same time, they create a fun, structured and stimulating, child-centred environment.

Different Childcare Roles

Childcare roles can vary enormously and what the position is named is also varied, for example:

Alternative titles include Nursery assistant, early years educator, pre-school assistant, playgroup assistant, childcare worker.

Nursery workers help babies and children up to 5 years old to develop and learn in a safe and supportive setting.

Nursery Work

Q. Do I need a qualification to work in a nursery?

A: In order to work in a nursery, you must hold a relevant qualification in childcare. Occasionally, there are unqualified roles but the expectation is that the candidate is willing to do training to achieve this whilst working.

Unfortunately, qualifications in health and social care are not considered full and relevant.

Q: What is the DBS update service?

A: The DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service, maintained by the UK government) is an online subscription service that lets you keep your standard and enhanced DBS certificates up-to-date.

It also allows employers to check a certificate online, with your consent.

There is an annual subscription of £13. You can also join the Update Service when you receive your DB

Q: Who provides relevant childcare courses?

A: A childcare course must include an element of a work placement where an assessor/tutor visits the setting. You will need to have access to a real work environment, as you need to show competence in both knowledge and skills.

Please note that some online courses are not considered full and relevant
