EYITT-anyone doing this as a childminder?

[MAWI]

Hi

I registered for the EYITT in September 2014 whilst I was in my post within a nursery. I have recently finished and gone back to childminding, only to be told by the provider that I cannot do it as a childminder, I have to be in paid emoloymwnt in a setting. Feeling rather deflated. Is there anyone doing this course as a childminder ?

it's In partnership with Anglian Ruskin University. Provided by Mpowernet. Yes same as early years teacher. Early years initial teacher training.

I finished my job and thought I could do it from childmnding. Feel a little lost now! Spoke to Development officer, she doesn't not know .

A childminder friend of mine has just done and passed the EYTS and the assessor was impressed how hard childminders work. There's no reason why you can't do it. I'm from Liverpool.

Ah right, thanks for that :-)

Do you know if they have done it from a Foundation Degree or a full BA?

many thanks
