To open a nursery, requires the owner or a member of staff to hold a full and relevant qualification in Early Years (Minimum Level 3). The more Level 3 qualified staff there are, the more children can be accepted and cared for in the setting.
See link below to the course you will be required to complete, if opening a nursery is your aim.

We also offer the option to fast track within 6 months, which may be of interest!

Please note: The completion of placement is compulsory to qualify and open a nursery. Be very wary of online providers offering courses that can be done 100% online. Ofsted will not accept them! Don't say we didn't warn you.
If you wish to become a childminder and operate from home, then you can register as a childminder instead. We also offer a course for this purpose as per the link below
