How can I get into the industry? Many childcare careers do not need high level qualifications but do need a genuine love for children and interest in their welfare and development. Teaching careers require a degree and qualified teacher status. Working hours are usually Mon-Fri, but may include early mornings and late evenings as part of wrap-around care or to prepare for the next day.
