Working within a nursery's baby room is never boring, but it's quite different from anywhere else. Judith Napier finds out what's so special
As more children are absorbed into school nurseries and reception classes, nurseries are focusing on younger age groups, some taking infants as young as six weeks old. What is it like to actually work in the baby room?
You need an NNEB, HNC or NVQ Level 3 (including baby module) in childcare.
