What you could study next
A free early years course at Level 2 is a strong foundation for further study. You could progress to a T Level in Education and Early Years, which includes an industry placement and is recognised for entry to higher education. From there, a Level 3 Early Years Educator Diploma is the qualification that counts toward statutory staffing ratios in nursery settings. Some learners go on to a Foundation Degree or BA in Early Childhood Studies to move into senior or specialist roles.
