A career in Early Years is an enriching opportunity for anyone passionate about shaping young lives.

Our Early Years courses equip you with essential skills and knowledge to support children’s development from birth to age five, focusing on their physical, emotional, and cognitive growth. You’ll gain essential skills in child psychology, effective communication, and play-based learning to create an engaging and supportive environment for children.

For Level 2 and Level 3 courses, you’ll combine theory with hands-on practice through work placements. These placements can be in local day nurseries, children’s centres, and schools. Our College has an excellent reputation and close partnerships with the Local Authority, the NHS, local nurseries, and other key providers.

With an Early Years pathway, you can prepare for a variety of careers with children in care and education. Whether you aim to work in nurseries, preschools, or as a childminder, these qualification open the door to rewarding careers in early childhood education.

Our courses emphasise collaboration with families and communities to build a strong support network for child development.
