Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.
Market view. The Level 3 Early Years Educator qualification is the full-and-relevant benchmark that room-leader and ratio-counting roles require; Level 2 sits below it. Room leaders, SENCo responsibility and forest-school specialisms carry the premiums, and an enhanced DBS is universal.
