Whether you’re looking to volunteer at your own child’s pre-school or are planning a career change, this course provides an essential stepping stone to build the skills and knowledge you’ll need to study other early years courses online, and work with children in a pre-school environment.
You’ll learn about the value of play, the roles and responsibilities of carers and volunteers and about the importance of developing links within the local community.
Working with children is a demanding, yet inherently rewarding job. This course will set you on the path to working with children aged 0-5, some of the most important developmental years of their life. This course is for you if:

Meet Felicity who is just one of our first-class childcare and early years tutors:
“I qualified as a primary school teacher many years ago. When my own children were young, I registered as a childminder, combining this with running play schemes and teaching childcare practitioners. I still believe working with children is the best and one of the most important jobs there is. A child’s early experiences have an impact on the whole of their life and it is up to us to make sure these experiences are positive. Just as every child is different, so is every NEC student and I try to meet all your individual needs. I want you to succeed by gaining the qualification you are aiming for and by becoming a more reflective practitioner.”
