Course content

The early years play a vital part in shaping a child’s lifelong development. Early years teachers facilitate the development of young children from birth to 5 years. They plan, organise and run a wide range of play-based learning and structured activities for young children in a nurturing environment. They also work closely with parents, guardians and social workers to ensure continuity of care.

Whether you’ve just graduated or are employed in an early years setting, studying with us will provide you with the knowledge and understanding required to give children the best start in life. At NTU, we’re working to raise the status of the early years workforce. You’ll be taught by staff with extensive experience of working with children and families, who will support you in becoming a professional, knowledgeable and skilled early years teacher.

You’ll be equipped with the subject knowledge and professional skills demanded by early years settings, completing the course as a confident and resilient practitioner. You’ll help to foster healthy development and unlock the potential of every child.
