Early Years - Find out About

This is one of a group of courses that we are offering to give you a chance to find out all about working with young children in an Early Years setting, such as a private day nursery, nursery school or class, out of school club.

You will find out more about working in childcare and if you want to take it further you will find out about ways of doing more training and gaining practical experience.

Enthusiasm to develop your skills and interests in childcare and a desire to work with children.

There is no formal assessment. You will develop your own individual learning plan and you will be assessed by your contribution to a range of activities, discussions and exercises.

If you decide to work in this area, we have adult courses that will give you recognised qualifications.

We also offer a range of ‘Find out about …’ courses that commence at various points in the year and are normally run at the Community Centres.

In the first instance please send a message to earlyyears@boltoncc.ac.uk

Studying at College

The health and safety of our learners and staff is still very important to us and so there may continue to be an element of study outside of the classroom during the, academic year. The proportion of these hours will depend on the individual qualification(s) being undertaken. You must do the work set during these times or it will impact your progress on the course and therefore your achievement.
