Hi
Also needed my maths another option that I have taken is a pass in any course with the open university www.open.ac.uk that begins with a T or M is an acceptable equivalent I am taken a 10 week course with them to get my maths. Is another option if like me you are exam phobic!! I will try to attach the goverment equivalent document which shows all the acceptable courses for maths, science englis etc these are accepted for both teacher training courses and EYPS. Hope this helps.

Jester,
thank you so much for that! I have a really ancient GCE O-level pass in Maths that was worrying me, if I ever get round to EYPS !
I now see it's fine - although mundia had told me it was - 'oh, ye of little faith!!'

Shock!! Horror!!!!!!
A MATHS teacher -ooooerr.
Can you guess it was my least favourite subject at school? Well, actually, Geography was, but Maths was a very close second.
On reflection, I have to say, Geography was only my least favourite subject because we had to learn endless lists of products - St Somewhere (St Helen's??) - glass.... - and they're all wrong now, anyway! It being the 21st Century ( ) I'd far rather've learnt about geology etc.....

Can I also admit that I love maths. 
When I left school, having got married at 18, I missed it so much that I actually went to the library and got maths text books out so that I could do some of the exercises in them. Now I'll just slink away.............

If Mundia is volenteering to do maths I'll put my hand up for science (well chemistry and biology anyway-not so hot on physics) !!
I'm quite happy to be the residential mad scientist!!
