Did you know that according to the World Health Organization, “High quality childcare and early childhood education can improve children’s chances for success in later life”?
Childcare helps parents continue their careers and aids the development of children during those important early years.
Our Childcare courses are official qualifications from CACHE that are recognised by the government and allow you to register as an official Childminder.
Child carers and childminders educate and care for other peoples children. This can be essential for parents who want to maintain their careers while raising their family.
All childminders are required by law to register with Ofsted. There are over 100,000 registered childminders.
As a qualified childminder you can care for up to six children (only three can be under five years old).
We work with accredited industry recognised awarding organisations to bring official courses to you, but with the benefit of distance learning.
