Finally, you must be prepared to feel loved, special and important to many young children and their families. Realise the important role you play in lots of special people's lives.

A normal working week in a nursery will be between Monday - Friday, and 35-40 hours per week, however this can vary if you are employed in an Out of School Care Setting.
