Not sure if this is what you mean, the relevant early years section

The only one I have come across is from PLA
If you are a member it is about £12...to non members about £16
You can only pre order at the moment but make sure the Code of practice is approved first ...just in case there are amendments

There is also a mini guide but Smiley has already posted another link from the FY website to keep you going

Do we have to change anything if we aren't accredited?

Afraid so...this is in the Children and Family Act 2014 and there is no such thing as an accredited cm now....those have gone as it was related to CMs networks
Look out for training courses from your EY Team ...and even updates via email as they have to keep you informed
