36 downloadable templates will allow you to tailor your actions and evaluations and chart your progress. You will also receive a certificate once each level is complete.
Pathway Two -
One to One support
All the support, guidance and materials contained within Pathway One, with the addition of a dedicated early years expert.
This independent mentor will support you with any questions you may have and will help guide your progress as you complete each of the training sessions.
They will also be on hand to review your Accreditation Assessment Portfolio.
Pathway Three - Assessment and visit
Accreditation Assessment Portfolio review, assessment visit and final assessment report.
If you are looking to become a Nurturing Childhoods Setting, you will submit a completed Accreditation Assessment Portfolio at the end of each level you complete.
