New early years qualifications service
The DfE has launched a new service to help early years settings and staff check if qualifications are approved for use within the Early Years Foundation Stage staff:child ratios.
Run by UK Ecctis, the service offers advice and guidance on qualifications awarded in the UK and brings back the early years statement for qualifications awarded outside of the UK.
