Early Years and Childcare Training

New Level 2 Certificate and Level 3 Diploma for the children and young people's workforce. Information and funding application forms available now.


Do you need help finding the best route for you?

A member of the workforce development team is available to visit your setting to discuss individual training needs with your staff team. This will enable you to meet necessary Ofsted  and Early Years Educational Entitlement (EYEE) requirements.

An agreed appointment will be made to suit your setting. We provide a supportive informal service, through information, advice and guidance on a one-to-one basis or full staff team meetings. 

During this visit you will be informed of funding streams available and the process involved, whether this is short courses or a full qualification.

Registered Childminders can also access this service (see below for more information).

The Workforce Development Team will give guidance on:

  • Promoting the benefits of a graduate led & highly qualified workforce
  • General training opportunities available to early years practitioners
  • Pathways to progression - which qualification is right for you?
  • Signposting candidates to accredited training providers 
  • Settings annual training planning (matrix of needs)
  • Funding opportunities for continued professional development
  • The benefits of the Graduate Leader Fund.

If you, or your staff would like to discuss training needs, please telephone the Workforce Development Team at The Birth To Five Service 01522 587581 or complete the attached visit request form and post to:

Effective Appraisals Booklet

After the recent Garnett Foundation sessions, it was highlighted that a guide to Appraisals would be useful to managers. This has been produced and is available here. This will be complemented by the e-Learning course available from June as shown on page 38 of the Training Directory.
