Flexible support for practitioners, settings and wider teams.
Online nursery staff training allows childcare providers to assign, deliver and record role-relevant employee learning through one central platform.
Practitioners, room leaders, designated safeguarding leads, managers, owners, administrators, cooks, food handlers, cleaning, maintenance and support employees may have different responsibilities, schedules and training needs.
There is no single course list that applies unchanged to every nursery, childcare provider or member of staff.
Training decisions depend on the UK nation, type of childcare provision, ages and needs of children, role and responsibilities, current statutory or regulatory guidance, identified risks, local safeguarding procedures, setting policies, and qualification or registration requirements.
This is general information, not legal, regulatory or inspection advice.
The Department for Education publishes separate Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) frameworks for childminders and for group and school-based providers. Providers are responsible for following the current framework applying to their provider type.
The current group and school-based framework includes safeguarding criteria in Annex C, staff induction information about emergency evacuation, safeguarding, child protection and health and safety, additional training for designated safeguarding leads (DSLs), paediatric first-aid requirements, and suitable food-hygiene training for staff preparing or handling food.
Online learning can support safeguarding knowledge, but providers remain responsible for selecting training that meets the current criteria applying to their setting and role. MoreCPD courses are not represented as EYFS approved, Annex C compliant, DSL training, paediatric first-aid qualification, regulated Level 2 or Level 3 qualification, or evidence of staffing-ratio eligibility.
Read the current England EYFS framework (childminders and group or school-based providers)Examples are selected from eligible courses currently published in the live catalogue. They are not a complete list of setting requirements.
Awareness learning to consider alongside setting policies, local procedures and specialist responsibilities.
Safeguarding e-learning does not replace the setting’s safeguarding policy, local procedures, supervision or specialist DSL training.
Knowledge learning for relevant staff alongside safe practice and setting procedures.
Food-hygiene e-learning supports knowledge; providers remain responsible for staff competence and safe practice.
Workplace awareness to supplement setting-specific instruction and emergency arrangements.
Online fire-safety learning does not replace setting-specific evacuation procedures and drills.
Relevant hygiene and infection-awareness learning for childcare teams.
Awareness learning for risks relevant to the work and setting.
Information-handling and security awareness for staff working with children and families.
Support respectful, inclusive working practices.
Awareness learning to support wellbeing conversations and team leadership.
Illustrative areas to assess, not a legal or mandatory checklist.
| Role or employee group | Topics a setting may need to assess |
|---|---|
| All practitioners and new starters | Safeguarding, setting policies, emergency procedures, health and safety, data security and equality |
| Room leaders and senior practitioners | Safeguarding, supervision, wellbeing, conflict management and leadership topics |
| Designated safeguarding leads | Specialist DSL training that meets current applicable criteria, alongside wider professional development |
| Cooks and food handlers | Food hygiene, allergen awareness, safer food handling and relevant health and safety |
| Office and administrative staff | Data protection, cyber security, safeguarding awareness and workplace conduct |
| Cleaning and maintenance staff | Health and safety, hazardous substances, manual handling, fire safety and safeguarding awareness |
| Owners and managers | Safeguarding leadership, safer recruitment, staff supervision, people management and workplace compliance |
| Childminders and assistants | Role-relevant learning determined by the applicable childminder framework, risks and responsibilities |
Current England EYFS paediatric first-aid criteria include practical and face-to-face elements. A generic online awareness course does not qualify somebody as a paediatric first aider.
From Starter upwards, the MoreCPD LMS helps managers add and manage learners, assign courses by staff member or role, view progress and completion, access completion certificates, record or track renewal dates, receive reminders, review or export reports, apply organisation branding, and receive onboarding and platform support. It helps organise evidence but does not guarantee compliance, successful inspection, practical competence or staffing-ratio eligibility.
Solo can suit one learner, an independent childminder or an individual practitioner. Starter can support teams of up to 10; Growth and Business support larger workforces. Settings can give different roles different course assignments.

Requirements vary across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The EYFS sources below are England-specific starting points; check the guidance applicable to your setting.
There is no single course list that applies unchanged to every nursery, childcare provider or member of staff. Needs depend on the UK nation, provision type, children’s ages and needs, role, responsibilities, current guidance, risks, local safeguarding procedures, policies, and qualification or registration requirements.
Yes. Online training can form part of a broader training programme, particularly for awareness, induction, refreshers and knowledge-based learning. It does not replace setting-specific induction, practical instruction, supervision or assessment where those are needed.
Not automatically. EYFS applies in England and the current group and school-based framework includes safeguarding criteria in Annex C. Providers remain responsible for selecting training that meets the current criteria applying to their setting and role; MoreCPD does not claim that a course satisfies Annex C or DSL requirements.
No generic online awareness course should be treated as the required full qualification. Current England EYFS paediatric first-aid criteria include practical and face-to-face elements, so providers must check the current arrangements applying to their setting.
No, not unless a specific course is explicitly verified as that regulated qualification. MoreCPD CPD courses should not be treated as regulated early-years Level 2 or Level 3 qualifications.
Yes. From Starter upwards, the manager LMS supports staff and course assignments, so practitioners, managers, cooks, office staff, students and other workers can receive learning relevant to their responsibilities.
Yes. Team plans include completion records, certificate tracking, expiry information and renewal reminders, with progress and reporting through the manager LMS from Starter upwards.
The manager LMS is included with Starter, Growth, Business and Enterprise. Solo provides one learner with library access, certificate tracking and expiry alerts, but not the manager dashboard or team reporting.
Solo is £18 + VAT monthly or £180 + VAT annually for one learner. Starter is £45 + VAT monthly or £450 + VAT annually for up to 10 learners; Growth is £95/£950 for 11–30; Business is £195/£1,950 for 31–75; Enterprise for 76+ is bespoke. Every plan has a 12-month commitment.
Yes. Solo may suit one childminder or practitioner, while team plans can support larger teams. Childminders remain responsible for checking the framework, guidance and training arrangements applying to their provision.
