Backed by the Mayor and the European Social Fund, the Pan London Early Years Sector Skills (PLEYSS) training programme is being delivered by Professional Training Solutions – a provider of employability, apprenticeship courses and training across London, Surrey and the South-East.

Open to young people and adults aged 16 and upwards who are unemployed and living in London, the training programme offers two different routes, one for those wishing to become childminders or nannies, and the other for those looking to work in nurseries.

Upon completion of the course, learners will have a recognised qualification and be guaranteed an interview at the end of their training and six months mentoring.
