Course Aims
Fuelled by curiosity and wonder, children are extremely fast learners and take in all their surroundings to grow and develop vital skills to prepare them for school and their future. As a Level 2 Early Years Practitioner, you’ll play a vital role in supporting the social and physical development of children ages 0-5, using imaginative learning techniques, encouraging language and literacy skills, and promoting independence along with the way. If you’re interested in a fulfilling and challenging career in childcare within an Ofsted-regulated environment, this course is a great starting point.
Once you’ve gained your certificate, you’ll be a qualified Early Years Practitioner with NCFE CACHE. This means you can start working, under supervision, with children up to the age of 5, and you will have proven knowledge of working with children up to the age of 7. You will also count towards the Level 2 ratio as a qualified Level 2 Early Years Practitioner across the Early Years Workforce.
