Our Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS) courses will prepare you to teach and care for the youngest children in a range of settings, including nurseries, foundation stages, and children's centres.

You will learn from expert lecturers who have a strong reputation for their work in the region and train in a number of local settings and schools, getting the experience you need to start your career.  

90% of our student teachers start their careers in early-year settings within six months of completing the course. Just one of the reasons why we’re rated as an ‘Outstanding’ teacher training provider (Ofsted, 2017)
