Achievement of this pathway will enable apprentices to access higher level jobs within the sector, such as nursery supervisor, nursery manager and pre-school manager/co-ordinator. There is also opportunity for apprentices to go on to further study at higher levels, particularly working towards Foundation Degree in Early Childhood Policy and Practice.
