Learners say:

"The childcare course has had a big impact on my life and it has helped me understand more about the childcare field."

The Tutor says:

"The level 2 childcare is a great course to develop the skills and knowledge from the level 1. You will also learn about how to safeguard children from harm and monitor and support their development. You will look at healthy eating and how that can have an impact on their development. You will have the opportunity to express your own creativity within the tasks as you complete them. Previous learners on the level 2 course have moved on to work in nurseries and schools, they have also been placed onto level 3 apprenticeships in those job roles. As the tutor for childcare, I have worked in and around the industry since my first work experience in a Pre-school at age 15, working up to owning and running my own Pre-school at age 22, before moving into teaching childcare in my late 20’s. I have always loved working with children and babies and now I really enjoy sharing my love of working with children, with other people. I became a full-time step-mum to a 10 year old at age 24 and have most recently become a gran.
