I very much doubt it will be worth it in the end! The the standard of candidates going through its no better than a level 3 qualifications on offer, everyone is probably already aware of my stance on the NVQ3 so I won't repeat myself.
The OU is a bit of a joke but if you already have a degree you can use the points already gained to achieve the EYPS, the same applies for the PGCE as well. Teaching prefers a relevant degree but it's not important if you are the right candidate for the job. The same looks as if it applies to the EYPS. What gets me the most is the entry requirements; they are pretty musch non-existant!
The government are doing a fine job of ruining the childcare industry, and are making it particularly hard for the private sector. We are all sitting on a time bomb and eventually it will become survival of the fittest.
