It comes after the Department for Education (DfE) announced plans to review and reform the qualification last October, as part of its measures to address the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on young children.
As part of the review, nursery staff, owners and managers, childminders, academics, local authorities, parents and carers will be asked for their feedback on how the Level 3 EYE, including the criteria underpinning the qualification, could be improved.
Commissioned by the DfE, the review, which will be the first of the Level 3 since 2014, is to be undertaken by the education charity and leader in vocational learning NCFE, supported by the Early Years Alliance, Education Policy Institute (EPI) and the Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years (PACEY).
