The Course

This course requires students to demonstrate in-depth understanding of early education and care, including:

  • Support and promotion of child development
  • The ability to plan and provide effective care
  • Teaching and learning that facilitates progression and prepares young children for school
  • Undertaking observations and forming accurate assessments
  • Safeguarding children and promoting their health and welfare
  • Partnership working with parents and external professionals

The course is suitable for students working in an early years setting, with children aged 0-5 years. Settings may include day nurseries, nursery schools, child minders, pre-school and children’s centres.

The course requires students to attend a setting in an employed capacity for a minimum of two days per week. Although it is also possible to attend a setting in a voluntary capacity, this would have to be discussed and agreed at the discretion of an assessor due to the key children element of the role.

The course length is approximately 18 months-2 years; however, length of time on programme is to be agreed with the assessor based on the needs of the student. 

The taught session aspect of the course is delivered remotely, and therefore requires access to a laptop/computer. The practical element of the course involves observations of practice that are carried out by the assessor.
