Childcare

Miss Chubb

“To take children seriously is to value them for who they are right now rather than adults-in-the-making.”

— Alfie Kohn

Intent

This subject is aimed at students who wish to be introduced to childcare and development for children aged 0-5 years. It also gives learners an insight into their preferred learning styles and assists in developing their ability to study. A childcare qualification provides the opportunity to gain a vocational qualification that gives a basic introduction to the childcare sector including careers such as teaching, midwifery and nursing.

This childcare qualification is a GCSE equivalent qualification, which counts towards progress 8.
