Early Years Educators and other job roles such as nursery nurse and childminders, are highly trained professionals who play a key role in ensuring that young children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. They work in a range of settings including full day care, children’s centres, pre-schools, reception classes and as childminders.
This integrated programme is designed for individuals working or aspiring to work in early years settings, combining the Level 3 Early Years Educator (EYE) qualification with the Level 3 Award for Special Educational Needs Coordinator in Early Years Settings. It supports the development of skilled practitioners who can meet the individual needs of all children, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), in line with national standards and legislation.
On completion of this apprenticeship learners will be able to be included in the ratios as Early Years Educators.
