There are two courses at this level, one with a regular work placement in a childcare facility and one without.

The developing child unit will introduce you to ways of observing children so that you can support development through appropriate activities and care routines. You will also learn how to work with children when they move from one setting to another. A safe, healthy and nurturing environment for children covers the preparation and maintenance of a safe environment and how to safeguard children and adults through working practices. You will also consider your role in managing conflict when working with children. Children and play focuses on the importance of play in children's development. You will learn about the stages and types of play and how you can provide appropriate activities to support development through play.
