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. They may either be working on their own or supervising others to deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) requirements set by Government for the learning, development and care of children from birth to 5 years old.
The resources below will help you to develop the knowledge and skills for the Early Years Educator Standards and the Early Years Workforce Diploma. Use the activities and resources for each unit, in conjunction with the power point and video sessions.
In addition to these resources, you will also take part in a Paediatric 1st aid course. Your Skills Coach will discuss these with you during your programme.
