Childcare Assistant Framework
At present, schools and nurseries are not taking volunteers due to Covid-19 restrictions, therefore it is currently not possible to meet the workplace requirements for vocational qualifications. In response to this, we have created an exciting framework of knowledge-based qualifications that you will study online. The framework enables you to develop an understanding of the knowledge, skills and experience required to work as a childcare or nursery assistant in an early years setting.
