Bright Horizons partners with Institute of Education for EYT course

Bright Horizons will be delivering a School Direct Early Years Teacher course in partnership with the Institute of Education (IoE) from September.

The UK’s second biggest nursery chain has been awarded ten funded places by the National College for Teaching & Leadership (NCTL) to create this specific course with the IoE.

The partnership means successful Bright Horizons 2016/17 EYT applicants will benefit from a unique education environment at the IoE, with lecturers including Iram Siraj, Bernadette Duffy and Guy Roberts-Holmes.

Paul Davies, director of Initial Teacher Training at the IoE, said, ‘As a large faculty of UCL (University College London), we have expert staff and fantastic resources to support student learning. Staff are research active and use their findings in their teaching to present students with the most up-to-date thinking in education. Bright Horizons provides varied and interesting settings for the students and, in doing so, means they have exciting opportunities to link their developing practice to theoretical perspectives on teaching and learning.
