If you are working in full day care, you should be eligible for funding through your early years and childcare service. The government has set a deadline by when all full day care settings should have a graduate leader in place. It does only apply to full day care at the moment though.
There is funding for "new graduates" i.e. those starting on a degree course, "existing graduates" which is for people who already have a degree who are going for EYPS and is at a lower level, and there is also funding for "home grown" graduates, which is to support experienced level 3 staff to undertake the training needed to qualify for a foundation degree course.
