Sudent Opinions

• I had no experience in childcare before this course I have learnt loads and am really enjoying the experience. The assignments need quite a bit of time to do but I have done little bits each week so it doesn’t seem so bad. I have made some great new friends.

• I have found this course very interesting and educational. I now know a lot more about children and young people. It has encouraged me to do more with children as I now have more confidence and knowledge to do so. It was hard work but worthwhile.
  • Rebecca Smith
• I found this course interesting and it has helped me a lot. It has been a little difficult because I am a single mother of two children aged 3-5 years, but I am glad I did it as it will help to further my career.
  • Stacy Pires
• This course has enabled me to do something I have always wanted to do. I have enjoyed the challenge. It has been hard work but I have learnt so much about children and how they develop and learn.
