Nottinghamshire Early Years Professionals were awarded with specially designed badges and certificates at a recent celebration staged by the county council to raise the profile of EYPs.
The presentations were made by Pauline Jones, CWDC's senior programme manager for early years. The idea for a badge came from Alison Hill, early years and childcare service manager at Nottinghamshire County Council.
Ms Hill says, 'Listening to our EYPs, we were aware that we wanted to create something that would allow them to demonstrate their achievement and would be a visible talking point for children, parents and staff.
'There are 263 settings in Nottinghamshire and we have 45 EYPs in post, but taking into account the people on the various pathways the figure is up to 62 per cent of settings.'
