BA (Hons) Early Childhood Education and Care

... United Kingdom
... Newman University

Course Overview

Our BA (Hons) Early Childhood Education and Care degree at Newman University is registered with the DfE as having ‘full and relevant status’, which is particularly advantageous to graduates employed in early years settings, in counting towards the staff: child ratios.

Early childhood, the quality of education, provision and care, and the roles and responsibilities of all those involved with young children, parents, and families, all have a significant influence on children’s achievement and life chances. The last decade has seen the wider development of early years provision, changes and challenges in aspects of education and care, and the recognition that early childhood and children’s experiences must be supported by a highly qualified workforce. Government legislation, policy, and research have raised the profile of early childhood, education, and care and established the requirement for recognized professional qualifications for all those working in the field of early years in public, voluntary and private sectors.

General Eligibility
