About your Course
A career in childcare gives you the opportunity to work with young children in a number of different settings. You will work with children from infants to pre-school, helping them grow and develop as individuals.
In a childcare setting you will help children develop everything from problem solving skills to their first friendships. The skills they develop in a nursery or childminder setting are ones that they carry forward for the rest of their lives.
This online course will introduce you to key legislation around children and safeguarding. You will also learn about life stages, common ailments in children and how to treat them.
You will also learn about child psychology and the emotional & cognitive development children go through in their early years.
The course will also cover theories around learning, intelligence and socialisation. All of which will help you work with children and build a structured plan around their needs and personal goals.
If you wish to build your career in the childcare sector, you could continue your child care training courses to become a child minder, nursery nurse, play worker and more.
This course is ideal for building a foundation of knowledge before moving on to our Child Minder (CACHE Level 3) course, which can form part of the full CACHE Level 3 Diploma for the Children's and Young People's Workforce should you wish to progress to this.
Getting Started
This online course will help you to better understand and support the children you work with in an early years setting. You will be able to help them grow as individuals, by helping them to understand social interactions and learn through play.
This course is especially useful for anyone interested in a career in a nursery or child minder setting. It can also provide you with a foundation for further studies in child behaviour.

The Learner Unit Summary may be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this subject.

The Quality Licence Scheme endorsement involves robust and rigorous quality audits by external auditors to ensure quality is continually met. A review of courses is carried out as part of the endorsement process.
