Childcare

The Childcare program at Berkshire College of Agriculture is a one-year, non-degree course for students under 16 who want to understand how children learn and develop. It covers essential topics like children's rights and healthy diets.

The curriculum includes practical units on children's learning and play, with both classroom learning and off-site visits. This hands-on approach helps students develop critical skills for a career in childcare.

Graduates can pursue roles like Childcare Assistant, Nursery Worker, and Playworker. They can also apply their skills in related fields like education and social care, with opportunities for further studies or entry-level positions.
