Why is work with early years so important?
More and more research is showing that the first few years of our lives are hugely important for our development. Without the correct care and mental stimulation, children will be negatively affected in later life. Things children see, hear, taste, touch and smell are all part of the learning process. Their brains undergo a lot of change as they grow, especially age 0-3.
In their first few years children learn:
- Social skills
- Behavioural skills
- Speech and language
- How to pick up small objects with their hands
- To sit up, crawl and walk
- To solve problems
In what jobs can you work with early years? Here are just a few:
- Nursery Nurse
- Early Years Teacher
- Reception Class Teacher
- Pre-School Assistant
- Nanny
- Child-minder
Are you cut out to work with early years? Do you…
- Love working with children?
- Find it easy to communicate your thoughts in a way that children can understand?
- Have a passion for helping children to learn and develop?
Children need opportunities to play and learn. Nurseries and schools are now looking for better qualified staff to provide a more educational experience for their children.

Hi my daughter is looking to do the childcare level 3 cache course early years but she only has a D in her English Language GCSE, and she has a C in her English Literature GCSE, will she need to resit the English Language exam and gain a C for this course to be valid in employment. I can see if she applies through the 19+ loan scheme it gives you some sort of extra learning in English and Maths would this be sufficient or not.
Hi Adele, yes your daughter would need to take her English Language GCSE again, because the English aspect of our course would not be sufficient. Stonebridge
Hi I would like to know for this course I have GCSE C in english language and got a D in english Lit. I understand you need c or above In the language. Can you confirm?
Hi Nish, you do need a C or above in GCSE English Language. Stonebridge
So to clarify it doesn’t matter if I have a D in english literature then and therefore i would not be required to resit this?
Many Thanks
Hi Nish, yes that is correct. Stonebridge
