Take-up has so far been healthy for Scotland's new BA in Childhood Practice, which is the first qualification to be offered as part of a national overhaul of professional awards.
Designed for lead practitioners and managers, the level 9 course is the first to meet the new standards developed by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC), QAA Scotland and others in the education, voluntary and private sectors.
The new Standard for Childhood Practice has been created to help early years and childcare workers follow a skilled career path and help workers to be recognised as professionals.
