Maura McMackin, Assistant Head of Department commented, “I am delighted by the achievements of Level 1 Childcare students. This course provides a very strong basis for students to progress into many areas. Importantly it builds skills for ‘Listening to Children’, ‘Understanding Child Development’ and ‘Understanding the Importance of Play. I hope to see many of them returning to progress onto our Level 2 programmes.”

The Level 1 Diploma in Childcare course is a one year full-time programme. The students follow a course of study which aims to prepare them for the world of work and for progression onto other educational or training programmes.
