The Early Years foundation degree is designed for practitioners who are working in a variety of early years settings, with families or playgroups and in schools, nurseries and children's centres.The course provides opportunities to: develop your knowledge and practice ; enhance your career prospects; gain access to further learning; study while you work. Employers have been directly involved in the design of the course, which will build upon the practical work you are already undertaking in the workplace to provide clear links between practice and theory.

We offer a route into higher education for practising early years workers. Over a two-year period a substantial amount of your learning will take place in your workplace through the planned and supported tasks and projects we will set you. You will undertake study in areas such as child development, communication, language and literacy, inclusion, health, and management issues in early years. You will take a series of modules during regular classes at college. In this way, you gain access to the theory and debate while remaining rooted in your everyday work with young children.
