Our Introductory Course for Qualified and Experienced Early Years Practitioners includes Safeguarding Children, Designated Lead (mandatory training) and Leading and Managing a Childminding setting. It is suitable for those registering on the Early Years Register, or BOTH the Early Years and Childcare Registers.
