maybe in reflecting after the matter it would have been easierto do a level three, but Im now well into level 4 and have found this course ok to do so far.It's just the occasional question/information comes up which I dont know the answer to or know what it is. Thats why I looked for a forum/ somewhere helpful.

Yes, everyone is being encouraged to 'upskill' and whilst I am lucky enough to have another EYP (as well as myself) in the setting, I personally have always preferred my staff (when first coming into the sector) to attend lots of courses, workshops, meetings and in-house training before doing NVQ's. They (and me) have found that they are much more confident and knowledgeable by not rushing in.
That said, you are already in 'the thick of it' so I hope your colleagues are supporting and helping you - especially your colleague doing a Foundation degree who should be sharing her knowledge with you. And of course there are forums such as Silksteps who are very helpful for when your colleagues aren't around and you are doing your work in the wee small hours!
