Qualifications List for those delivering the Early Years Foundation Stage

CWDC has undertaken a review of the qualifications held on the Early Years and Playwork Qualifications Database in order to develop a new Qualifications List for those delivering the Early Years Foundation Stage.

The introduction of the new Qualifications List for those delivering the Early Years Foundation Stage will be phased, in order to facilitate planning. The new Qualifications List is now available to enable local authorities and employers to become familiar with it and to begin to identify and plan to meet any training needs arising from its introduction.

Until the end of August 2009, the existing Early Years and Playwork Qualifications Database is also available and should still be used to check that settings meet the statutory requirements for qualifications.

From September 2009, the Early Years and Playwork Qualifications Database will be superseded by the Qualifications List, and from this date local authorities, employers, practitioners and Ofsted inspectors must use the Qualifications List exclusively.
