This foundation degree is built for people who already work with children from birth through to the close of reception in schools. It suits practitioners holding a level 3 qualification or solid employment experience who want to deepen their knowledge of early years practice. Nannies and childminders caring for children in the relevant age range are also welcome to apply.
Teaching takes place on Monday afternoons and evenings at the Adult Education Campus, which fits around paid work. Learners are expected to complete substantial independent study between sessions. The course requires paid or voluntary involvement in a relevant workplace setting throughout the programme, and topics include understanding and managing behaviour.
Students can top up to a full honours degree in early years, which extends the route from foundation level to a bachelor's qualification. The course suits people who want to progress further in young children's care and education.
