Insights on Early Years Staff

Wellbeing from Connect Childcare

 

Our report, A Look into Early Years Staff Wellbeing, sheds light on the mental health and job satisfaction of early years professionals, revealing the unique pressures they face in today’s challenging environment. Based on a survey of nearly 300 practitioners, the report highlights a mixed picture: while 77.8% rate their job satisfaction as 6 or higher, a notable 33% rate their mental wellbeing below 5 out of 10.

Key stressors include heavy administrative burdens, frequent inspections, and financial constraints, which reduce time for the rewarding aspects of the job. Nearly half of the respondents report inadequate mental health support at work, emphasising the need for open dialogue and stronger resources.
