Childcare

‘...students use well-defined targets and clear areas for development to help them to improve subsequent pieces of work.’ Ofsted, 2018

Would you like to work with children or young people? There is always a demand for high-quality childcare professionals and our courses give you the skills and qualifications you need to start your career in childcare. The UK childcare market is worth £5.57 billion and is growing all the time. As the cost of living gets more expensive and more people with children have to go to work to support their families, parents are becoming increasingly reliant on childcare services.

This map gives you an overview of progression opportunities that our courses in Childcare can lead on to.
