On behalf of IFF Research and the Department of Education (DfE), thank you for taking part in this survey. Your feedback will help DfE to learn more about what attracts people like you to work in early education. They will use this information to make decisions about working conditions and pay.

The first few questions are about the position you applied for, to check that you are eligible for the survey. If eligible the survey will only take about 5 or 10 minutes, and you will receive a £5 Amazon or PayPal payment as a thank you for taking part. The research is for people who are applying to, or currently, work directly with children aged five or younger.
