How can Early Years students get work placements in Bristol?

Our team of recruitment consultants can help Early Years students get work placements in Bristol.

Class Recruitment has been based in Clifton since 2009, and has supported several students in the city to gain paid work placement experience whilst they have studied for a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies.

During the degree course, students must complete many placement hours in Early years settings to support their course requirements.

Once they have completed their placement hours, the degree meets the Government requirement for the Graduate to be classed as a Level 3 Nursery Nurse.

Graduates can then be counted in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) staff-to-child ratio at Level 3.

If a student working through a BA in Early Childhood Studies opts out of work experience placements, they will not be qualified to Level 3 at the end of the course.

This is why Early Years students need work placements in Bristol as they study.

Class Recruitment can offer students in Bristol the flexibility of work around their study commitments and lectures.

Some nursery settings may offer a traditional approach, a setting that follows the Reggio and Amelia approach, Montessori, Forest School or others.

We can sign off the hours for a student to confirm that they have completed the required hours, as well as ensure that they get paid for their hard work.

Early Years students completing work placements in Bristol can also get to work at a variety of nursery settings without committing to any specific one.

This gives Early Years students the opportunity to find the right nursery setting in Bristol for them after graduation.
