Enquiry

After recently speaking to local childcare providers it has become apparent that there is a lack of qualified Early Years Practitioners. We need to ensure that the Level 1 courses meet the skills needs of the local district. This course is designed with a view to enable the students to progress to Level 2 and go out onto placements.

We are planning to go to the children's museum Eureka, which will enable the students to undertake a range of actvitities that will promote children's development. We are also encouraging our students to do some volunteer work and have a speaker arranged from Volunteer Bradford who will discuss opportunities available to the students. They will then support the students in the workplace. We currently have Year 2 students on work experience placements in local schools and nurseries and are taking Year 1 students out on visits to local nurseries so they can expereince a day in the life of an Early Years Practitioner.

This is a hands on and practical course that allows students to experience a range of fun interactive activities such as creative work and reading stories .

Some of our Level 1 students have progressed to Level 2 and Level 3 qualifiactions and are now studying at university.

A theatre company come into College offering a range of fun activities to enhance confidence and empowerment. We also went to a pantomime which was a unique expereince for some of our students.
