Course overview
Looking after children comes with its own set of responsibilities, but if you love their energy, enthusiasm and aptitude for learning, then being a professional nanny or childcare provider could be the ideal career for you.
Not only can a childcare course prepare you for working in a private family home, but you could learn more about child psychology, protecting young people at risk and ensuring their health and safety while in your care. It can also provide you with opportunities to develop your career in other childcare sectors, including education or counselling.
Who's It For?
Perhaps you already have some childcare training or are currently working as a nanny. If this is the case, our programme could still be relevant for you. You could take the course to update your existing knowledge and skills or to learn something new about your job role.
