Which roles are available?
When adding nursery staff to the platform, you will select from three roles, please make sure you select all roles you would like to be added at this stage:
Unqualified Educator
Qualified Educator Level 2
Qualified Educator Level 3
For all qualified roles, you must upload the primary qualification certificate for review.
English and Maths Requirements
In line with Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) requirements, certain Level 2 and Level 3 educators must provide additional evidence of English and Maths competency.
When to upload:
Check the Government Qualification Checker first.
If required: Upload the specific English/Maths certificate (Level 2/GCSE equivalent or above).
If not required: Re-upload the original primary qualification certificate in these sections.
Document Criteria: To be verified, the certificate must clearly show:
Candidate’s Full Name
Subject: Specifically English or Maths.
Awarding Body: e.g., AQA
Date: A confirmed award date or an approximate school year.
Result: Confirmation that the modules/exams were passed.
Guidelines for Successful Verification
We use the Early Years Qualification List (EYQL) to validate documents. To avoid delays, ensure your uploads meet the following standards:
What We Need to See:
Clarity: The image must be high-resolution and legible.
Key Details: The Course Title, Candidate Name, Award Date, and Awarding Body must all be visible.
Common Reasons for Rejection:
The most common reasons a qualification isn't approved on the first attempt:
• English or Maths evidence is missing, if the qualification checker says it's required, we need to see a separate certificate for both subjects.
• Overseas qualifications without a UK equivalency statement, please obtain an Early Years Statement (EYS) from ENIC before uploading.
• Images that are hard to read, make sure nothing is cut off, blurry, or in shadow.
Overseas Qualifications
What We Need to See:
Early Years Statement (EYS) - the candidate themselves must apply for this.
English and Maths Qualifications may sometimes be required with EYS, requirement provided on statement
Please note:
We can't accept a Statement of Comparability for a qualification obtained overseas. A Statement of Comparability can be used to validate additional qualification such as English or Maths to a UK level.
