We are proposing revisions to the criteria for early years educator (EYE) level 3 qualifications.

We commissioned NCFE to review the EYE level 3 criteria and recommend revisions. We are consulting on the suitability of the revised criteria for qualifications in early education and childcare.

You should read the early years educator level 3 criteria consultation document and NCFE’s written report before completing the online survey.
