Hi maestro sorry to ask but have you already done your EYPs as if so I would like to know how you think that idiots can get through. I am finding it very intense and I have been told that the assessment is the same for everyone regardless of were you do the course but I will certainly be looking at the OU as a provider of easier routes. I cannot understand why some people are up in arms about the government wanting to increase the standard of the childcare workforce, afterall if these qualifications are so easy to acheive then there will be no worries. I have been in some settings that I wouldn't trust to care and educate my child. I am fully in favour of a higher qualified workforce as this will create a higher standard of practice.  The only thing that I can see creating a cause for complaint is that once everybody has higher standards then higher wages should be available and this is were the problems begin.  I feel that the reason for gaining a better understanding and greater knowledge of our role is for the benefit of the children we care for and yes I agree that some people do not appear to be working at a level 3 standard but I am sure that gaining EYPS will never be an option for these people.
