Definately considering this course, should not be closed! Think will become extremely popular with the introduction of skills tests to pgce preventing those becoming teachers!

A disgrace! Give the children, staff and trainees of EYPS Norfolk a fighting chance rather than allow shady mismanagement bend their knees to corrupt hypocritical tory policy and big business interests. People first - let's haul up the UEA suits and hacks that dreamt up this loony idea and have them explain themselves!

The EYPS course is vital to raising the standard of childcare for 0-5 and ensuring the best outcomes for children. There should be more courses of this nature, not less.

I feel there is a big need for this course in a area where students often ned to study locally , often in later life when retraining when family ties and poor transport links would make studying at another university impossible

I am currently studying on the EYPS course at UEA. I think it would be a waste of the time and effort which has been put into developing the course over the past few years. I am sure there are alternatives to ending the course. I know several people who had taken a year out and were planning on joining the course in September. This option should not be taken away from them.

I found the EYSF course at the UEA very useful and feel that it is very important for other people to have the opportunity to develop their practice locally. also, it gives Norfolk the opportunity to be a leading authority in developing good practice.

The difference made by early years professionals is incredible, to deprive Norfolk of such a valuable and well respected centre of education would set the whole county's professional development at a distinct disadvantage. I hope that the UEA will reconsider and continue to provide excellent training for those graduates working within the early years field.

The full time EYPS pathway at UEA changed my life where Maureen and the rest of the team gave me the chance to re-train as an Early Years Professional. I am now employed at a Children's Centre where I am working with the most disadvantaged children and making a difference to their lives. I couldn't have done it without the support of the UEA.

if we can not get courses in remote areas of the UK . we will not be able to maintain high levels of qualifactions, gain further quals we will have to travel further ; impact being too much money, lack of professional development, no reserach, and a lack of deepening knolwedge of the best provision which will result in childrens development and life development not being maxamised and the country becoming 3rd world.

I think that the uea and ucu need to reconsider about closing the eyps program because for young people like me and many others who want to be teachers and then get eyps recognition norfolk university is the only university that offers it as others universities don't and I think it would be a shame to see it disband and a big disappointment to people who want eyps recognition anf won't be able to get it

This seems quite short sighted. I do not drive and if EYP had not been offered at the UEA I would have had to seriously considered if I was able to travel to train. And if an EYP in every early years setting is a government target why withdraw the training in this area of the country? Please rethink this decision.

Strange that UEA Broadview in January was so enthusiastic about the award of this funding. Also seems shortsighted in the light of recent government reports about the need for training in this area.

I was interested in completing this course, and have recently herd its plans to be withdrawn. I believe it is an asset to the staff trained in childcare and to the parents and children, as a supervisor at a local nursery I feel it would be a fantastic career development and aid my long term goal of opening a nursery, this qualification should not be withdrawn.

As as an E.Y.P. and manager of a nursery I value highly the E.Y.P.S. course which provides a route to a higher qualification for many experienced practitioners. The recent review concluded that E.Y.P.S. has been a major contributory factor in raising quality throughout early years settings. I have benefitted from the expertise of the well respected university's E.Y.P.S. team. The U.E.A. is in danger of losing respect in it's attitude to Early Years - the foundation for all future learning.

It is vital we fight to protect the professional workforce of the early years sector. We must maintain quality care and education and continue to raise the standards of training and qualifications as well as strive to achieve national recognition for the work we do. The EYP status clarifies the commitment we have to the most important years of a child's life!!

I was part of the 2010/11 cohort and gained so much knowledge and so many rich experiences from the course. The tutors are dedicated and passionate and the loss of EYPS would have a harmful effect on the quality of childcare and education in the whole region.

As an EYP since 2007 , an EYPS assessor and trainer, Nursery owner and lecturer in Early Years, I have first hand experience of the value that EYPs bring to the sector and I urge the University to reconsider dropping the EYPS programs. All areas of the country need a focal point for meeting, training and networking. It is one of the reasons the EYPS has been so successful. Graduate leaders need support from and draw inspiration from each other. EY is the most important area in education

I am currently studying a BA HONS at city college norwich in Childhood studies and was hoping to carry on to this course after my course in 2014 (as had a large majority of my course mates). It would be terrible if this course were to be removed as it offers great opportunities for people wishing to train within this field in our local area, meaning many people would have to travel further to be able to take part in this course and staff would be left without jobs.

I'm disappointed to hear that this course may no longer be available after I have finished my BA Hons Childhood Studies Degree in 2014. I was hoping to get onto this course to become a primary school teacher and I do not know if i'd consider moving away from home for financial reasons. I am worried others will feel the same and choose a different career path which in the future could effect teaching in schools within our area.
