Staff Qualifications

A Place To Grow

In line with Department of Children and Youth Affairs Regulations, all of our early
year’s staff hold a relevant qualification for their post.
The Manager of the Early Years’ service manager has a QQI Level 8 Degree in Early
Childhood Education and Care.  The Early Years Room Leader’s range in their
qualification levels from QQI Level 5 in Childcare up to QQI Level 8 Honours Degree
in Early Childhood Education and Care.  Amongst the Room Leader’s they have
experience ranging from two years in an early years’ service up to twenty-one years’
experience.  The Early Years Assistants have all completed their QQI Level 5 in
Childcare with some also after completing their QQI Level 6 in Childcare. Staff on
our relief panel are fully qualified with a mix of qualifications in Level 5 and Level 6 in
Childcare.
Throughout the year we strive to keep up-to-date within the early year’s sector by
completing Continual Professional Development training, along with partaking in
annual training such as Occupational First Aid training, Fire Safety Awareness
training and Manual Handling training.  We also engage with relevant agencies such
as Early Childhood Ireland and Wexford County Childcare Committee to keep up-to-
date with the changes in the sector.
