Develop a culture that supports sustainable improvements over time, responding to evidence on child development and effective early years practice.
Support the delivery of a strong curriculum that responds to the demands of the Early Years Foundation Stage.
Understand the evidence on SEND in the early years and make appropriate provision to support babies and young children to access support where needed.
Support the development of all staff within an early years setting.
Focus on the underpinning operational fundamentals of a successful early years setting, including leading on pedagogy, managing the nursery, managing the team, understanding safeguarding requirements and financial and business needs
How long is the programme?
A blend of flexible online learning, online discussion, virtual workshops and face-to-face workshops, for a few hours study each week over 18 months. This is followed by an assessment where you will complete a 1500-word case study assessment to demonstrate your understanding of real leadership and change.
