Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what is the average salary was of an early years teacher in the (a) private, voluntary and independent and (b) public sector.

The information requested is not held centrally.

Employers in the early years sector are responsible for setting the pay and conditions for their employees, including early years teachers, within the statutory requirements set by government (for example, national minimum wage).

Teachers who hold qualified teacher status and work in maintained schools are entitled to school teachers’ pay and conditions.
