Course description

You will learn about the growth and development of babies and young children. You will explore the value of a healthy lifestyle and diet, communication and learning, aspects of play and the importance of building the confidence of children.

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

Due to the current COVID-19 situation and with health and safety of our students as a priority, we have redesigned this course to include a mixture of classroom-based and online learning.
