In this episode of “Feel Good for Men Who Want Change”, Tim sits down with Claudio Sisera of Male Childcare and Teaching Jobs and a passionate advocate for getting more men into early years education.Claudio shares his remarkable journey, from arriving in London as a 19-year-old with no experience, to becoming a nursery manager, entrepreneur, and now leader of a growing movement to diversify the early years workforce.Together, they explore the powerful role male educators can play in shaping children’s views of gender, identity, and care. They also unpack the cultural stigmas that discourage men from entering the profession, and how policy and perception need to shift to create more inclusive, balanced environments for kids, staff, and families alike.This is an open and energising conversation about identity, belonging, and building a better model of masculinity, one classroom at a time.Key Topics:- Claudio’s personal journey into early years education- Why only 3% of the early years workforce in the UK is male- How early childhood is where gender stereotypes begin- The power of diverse role models, especially for boys- Stigma, trust, and challenges men face in nursery settings- What needs to change culturally, financially, and structurally, to attract more men- Healthy masculinity, vulnerability, and choosing purpose over prestige#HealthyMasculinity#MenInChildcare#EarlyYearsEducation#MaleRoleModels#PodcastDon’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode to help us grow this movement, man by man, story by story.How to find us:If you’d like to learn more about The Feel Good Folk, head to the website.
