Norland is registered as a taught degree awarding provider with the Office for Students, the regulator for higher education in England:
The Norland BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Education and Care is a full Level 6 degree award that is mapped to the QAA subject benchmark statement for Early Childhood Studies and includes the required element of assessed practice in an early years setting. It meets all the requirements of a ‘full and relevant’ early years qualification by the Department for Education for counting in the Early Years Foundation Stage statutory framework staff:child ratios.
The Norland BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Education and Care degree meets all the criteria for early childhood degrees with Early Childhood Graduate Practitioner Competencies (ECGPC) awarded at Level 6. These are assessed practice competencies that evidence the student’s holistic understanding of early childhood development and their ability to apply, critically evaluate and communicate theoretical knowledge to practice. Norland can award the title Early Childhood Graduate Practitioner to students who successfully meet all the competencies. The Early Childhood Studies Degree Network (ECSDN) approves and monitors the application of the framework.
