Early Years & Education
Take a look at our courses if you would like to become a Childminder, Nursery Nurse or Teaching Assistant
Overview
This department is really proactive when it comes to making the learning experience as real as possible. From a nursery-style class room, to trips to London.
In order to work within the Early Years sector you will need to have Maths and English GCSE at grade C and above. Functional Skills within your childcare programme is not going to allow you to be awarded Early Years Education status.
Here at Lakes College we do offer the chance to study Maths and English GCSE alongside your studies, if you qualify. Make sure you don’t waste time getting a qualification you can’t use!

“The balance between classroom work and my placement is amazing. I can take this into the future when choosing between a job, apprenticeship or going to university — especially because this course gives you UCAS points”
