Childcare is not about playing with babies all day. There will be a variety of activities to plan and deliver each day. You may have key children that you look after and will have to communicate with staff, children, managers and parents at the nursery. There will be a lot of cleaning to do, and you may have to work long hours, although this will vary with each employer. It is hard work, but it is very rewarding.
