Men in Childcare – Being a Male Practitioner

Men in Childcare – Being a Male Practitioner

Did you know?... Men in Childcare can encourage different approaches to learning and play and provide a positive balance for children. They can reduce gender stereotypes and change perceptions of the childcare industry.

As you will be aware, it’s our ambition to increase the number of men working in the Childcare sector from 2% to 20% over the coming years. We are recruiting and some exciting opportunities.

Hear from Daniel Berry, from our Cheltenham Park Nursery, about what it’s like to be a male practitioner within Childcare and the benefits it brings to both him a children.
