have a look on the forum at all the different courses other members are doing, but also check with your school/LEA which will be recognised in your area, as that will be the best one to do

Hi,

I was a childminder for 4 years and then became a TA. To help me I went straight for the NVQ3 (being quite a mature student) also volunteered at school and as I was only part time childminder got myself a job mid-day supervising 3 days a week. Did this for the 4 years gaining lots of experience. Worked for me so give it a try.
