Overview
If you work with young children in a setting such as pre-school, childminding, day nursery or children’s centre, this Foundation degree has been designed to fit around your work commitments. It combines academic study with your work experience, preparing you to work in multi-disciplinary teams in early years settings. On completion, you also have direct entry to one of our one year top-up pathways (Early Years, SEND or Education), enabling you to gain a full BA (Hons) degree. On this course pathway, you gain the Early Years Educator (EYE) qualification alongside your Foundation degree; EYE status further supports those who may not currently have a licence to practice, enhancing your employability and progression within the workplace. This course pathway includes an Early Years Educator qualification that has Department for Education accreditation.
