Love children? Patient and caring with a fun and playful side? Nursery nursing could make an exciting and rewarding career path for you.
Nursery nurses make sure young children grow up happy, healthy and able to flourish as they develop into adults. In this article, we explore what the job involves, if it’s for you, and how to become a nursery nurse.
'Love children? Patient, caring - and fun?! Nursery nursing could make the perfect career'
Nursery nurses' duties include helping children
develop through play in the nursery
Nursery nurses work with children aged 0 to 8 years and their parents or guardians. It’s their job to make sure children grow up safe, happy and in an environment which nurtures healthy development. Community nursery nurses are based at health centres, visiting families in the local area. Others do most of their work in the nursery or even in hospitals.
Day-to-day tasks you might carry out include:
As you progress, duties could also include:
Now let's take a look at how to become a nursery nurse...
As you may have twigged by now, a love of children is pretty crucial if you want to become a nursery nurse. But that's not all there is to it. Nursery nurses must display a wide range of very different skills:
Nursery nurses need great people skills plus the
ability to talk to people from a range of backgrounds
Some nursery nurses start out as nursery assistants and train on the job. You don’t need any qualifications to be a nursery assistant, although professional or personal experience of childcare will be a big help.
More experienced nursery nurses often supervise
colleagues as well as working with children
Nursery nurses need at least a level 3 qualification in childcare or early years. Popular qualifications include the CACHE diploma in childcare and education, or the national diploma in children’s play, but other vocational qualifications are available. Courses are available full time, usually over two years, and you may also be able to study part time while working.
To study for a level 3 qualification, you will need English and maths GCSEs at grade C+/4+. If you don’t have these GCSEs, you may be able to do a functional skills course before beginning your course.
Nursery nursing apprenticeships are available at the advanced level (equivalent to two A-levels), but we weren’t able to find any on the government’s Find An Apprenticeship service.
Since you will be working with children, you’ll need to have a DBS (Disclosure Barring Service) check, which makes sure you don’t have any criminal convictions which could stop you from working with children.
In 2017, a qualified nursery nurse will start on £16,900 (full time), according to NHS Careers.
A full-time week will be around 37.5 hours, with the possibility of some early morning starts and late finishes. You may be able to work part time.
