Would you welcome a return of the NNEB?
'I would very much welcome the return of the NNEB. I feel the quality and content of the NVQs is shocking! I definitely think the standard of NVQs needs re-addressing and hopefully this will help raise standards in all settings across the board.'
'I myself do not have the NNEB - I was BTEC trained. However, I have worked with many practitioners over the years who have been NNEB trained and I have found them to be highly skilled and informed practitioners.'
'There are pros and cons for the return of the NNEB. It had fundamental issues that delivered childcare in a professional way, highlighting the main focus on planning and delivery of activities and routines, with set periods of college-based attendance and placement hours to be completed. The placements were rigorous, giving students an outlook into all aspects of childcare provision and preparing them for real working life. I would welcome it back on the principle that students knew and understood observations and planning to the letter.'
