This qualification is designed for practitioners who wish to improve their knowledge of early brain development. It will support learners within the early years sector to develop knowledge and skills to support advancement within the sector. Learners may also progress to further study.
This qualification aims to:
- focus on the study of neuroscience in early years
- offer breadth and depth of study, incorporating a key core of knowledge
- provide further knowledge for those working in the early years sector.
The objectives of this qualification are to:
- support further progression within the early years sector
- develop new practical skills for working with children from birth to seven
years
- support the Practitioner role in the workplace.
The course is very research based, which will be implemented into your practice. A range of tasks will be completed by you to gather together your portfolio over a period of 18 (but up to 30) weeks. It contains a mixture of practical based and theoretical based study work and you will also complete a research project.

To complete this qualification, you must be employed, or have access to a placement for the duration of the course, (full time is not necessary, but a minimum of one day a week is required) within the Early Years sector, working in an Ofsted registered setting with children aged from birth to 5.
Please note, after school clubs and toddler groups are not appropriate for this qualification.

This advanced Early Years Neuroscience course is broken into 3 6-week blocks, plus an on-going research project, as follows. Blocks are independent from one another, and your starting "block" will vary depending upon when you enrol with the college.
Block 1: The aim of this unit is to provide an in-depth understanding of neuroscience in early years.
Block 2: The aim of this unit is to understand the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on the stress response system of children and the nurturing role of the adult in supporting self-regulation through co- regulation.
Block 3: The aim of this unit is to gain a deeper understanding of contemporary thinking and research from the neurosciences and acquire a critical insight into this thinking and research in understanding child development from birth to seven years.
Research Project: The aim of this unit is to implement neuroscience-informed change through practitioner-led enquiry within own setting. This will be achieved through a small-scale research project. Learners will be introduced to research, and the role of ethics when undertaking research. The theme selected will allow learners to reflect on practice, use current research to produce recommendations for improvements to own setting, implement these recommendations and summarise findings. This will run for the duration of your course and is it's own separate block.

This qualification doesn’t lead to a specific job role but when undertaken in conjunction with our Early Years Educator Level 3/4 qualifications, it provides learners with an overall package that allows for further progression in the early years sector.
- Internal progression at higher level including those with management responsibilities.
- Leadership, mentoring, supervision and management opportunities.
- You may wish to engage in further study- such as our level 5 Senior Practitioner Diploma, or a top up degree in Early Years.
