For experienced nursery workers and classroom assistants, this NVQ demonstrates a sound knowledge base and competency in looking after children. It is the equivalent of the NNEB, DCE or BTEC National Diploma and qualifies an individual to work as a nursery nurse or nursery officer and to supervise others.
