A level 3 Early Years qualification is not essential but an advantage.
Undertake the Disclosure and Barring Service process and provide the result.
GCSE English and Maths at grade 3/C or above is desirable. Applicants must score level 3 or above at their iniitial assessment.
Applicants without level 2 English and Maths will need to achieve this level prior to taking the End-Point Assessment.
English at grades C/4 or above must be achieved to be counted in ratios.
For those with an education, health and care plan or a legacy statement, the apprenticeship’s English and Maths minimum requirement is Entry Level 3. A British Sign Language (BSL) qualification is an alternative to the English qualification for those whose primary language is BSL.
