Hi Sammie,

thank you for your post.

Childcare qualifications have changed quite substantially in recent years, and the "old" Level 4 NVQ in Children's Care, Learning & Development is actually no longer taking registrations.

The new replacement qualification, called the Certificate / Diploma in the Children and Young People's Workforce, exists at Level 3 and Level 5, so if you have already completed a Level 3 qualification you will probably want to look at the Level 5.

CACHE has a few qualifications at Level 4, but these generally relate more to organisational/management aspects of childcare and playwork environments. Is this what you would be after?

In either case, the Ofqual Register is a great way to find out what your options are so that you can come back to us to find providers that offer the qualification you are after!
