LEVEL 3 EARLY YEARS EDUCATOR
Early years educators 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 provide critical early education in the key formative years that will set a child up for the rest of his or her life.
Early Years Educators 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.
