Getting advice for early years qualifications from within the UK

Skip contents

Overview

This information is for anyone who:

  • has an early years qualification from the UK
  • needs advice about their early years qualification, so they can work in early years settings in England

This service is free of charge.

The process is different for anyone whose early years qualification was achieved outside of the UK.
