Children don’t come with manuals—but your learning can. The Childcare Level 3 course is built for those who take their role in child development seriously (and possibly own more picture books than novels). Whether you’re aiming to support early years settings or simply boost your theoretical foundation, this online course gives you structured, in-depth insight into child development, safeguarding, and learning frameworks—all from your own screen.
Covering key themes like child wellbeing, early learning goals, and communication techniques, the course walks you through everything you need to know to work confidently in a childcare setting. Designed with flexibility in mind, it’s ideal for those juggling nappy talk and nap-time with some professional progress on the side. Study at your pace, on your schedule—because sticky fingers and scheduled webinars don’t mix.
