Best Early years practitioner apprenticeship providers

Top providers by achievement rate

Official 2024/25 achievement rates for Early years practitioner, published by the Department for Education. Learner numbers shown - providers with fewer than 30 leavers are listed separately. The DfE rounds achievement and leaver counts to the nearest 10, so a rate marked * is approximate and the true figure may be lower. How this table works

Rows with a logo and a tinted background belong to providers with a Showcase Profile. That changes how a row looks, never where it appears: every position in this table comes from the DfE's published achievement rate, and no provider can pay to move up. How we make money
