Hi, my name is Vicky and if you haven't already figured this is my first post. I have been reading the forum for some time but haven't managed to write anything myself yet, usually because I get so engrossed in what you guys have posted it is usually past my bedtime! I have been working in a pre-school for about 18 months, they are desperate for staff to get qualified and so I have started doing a Diploma in pre-school practice course via distance learning and was wondering if there was anyone out there who wanted a study buddy. The support from the NEC isn't great and I could do with someone to talk to! If anyone has done the course I wonder if you could offer me…

Does anyone have any knowledge of any research which does not support parental involvement in young children's learning?

Hi all, I'm having a bit of a moment. I work with a fabulous team of mature experienced staff who have all worked hard over the years to acheive their DPP level 3. We accomodate students from our local regional college and have just had a 16 year old start with us; no previous experience, didn't do childcare at school or at least didn't get graded on it; has 5 gcse results, an A for catering C for english the others ds and Es. i'm curious as to how this person was accepted on a level 3 course without doing her level 2. I'm sure she's very willing and able to learn, but I find it worrying that 2 years down the line she will have the same qualification as all of my coll…

Hi, I am after some information please. I have just finished my NVQ4 CCLD and would like to take a route into teaching. I am aware that the best way would probably be to do my foundation degree but surely I don't have to do the full 3 years do I? After foundation degree, what route do I take then?? Any advice please would be great! xx Thanks
