Key topics include child development, promoting positive relationships, and health and safety practices. The course combines theory with practical experience in early years settings, where you’ll be able to apply your knowledge in a real-world environment.

I chose Stanmore College because it was the only local option offering T Levels, and I’m so glad I did, the course has been a great experience. I really benefited from the work experience on my course, as it allowed me to apply what I’d learned in class directly in the workplace. I’ve now secured an apprenticeship in a nursery and I’m really excited about continuing on the combined work-and-study path.
