Childcare

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 work in a range of settings including full day care, children’s centres, pre schools, reception classes and as childminders.

As an early years educator who will be asked to plan and supervise child initiated and adult led activities, support children to develop numeracy and language skills, observe each child and shapes their learning experience to reflect their observations and work in partnership with other colleagues, parents and/or carers or other professionals to meet the individual needs of each child.
