   Hello, I have has my degree in early childhood since last year, and I'm really stuck as to what I can do with it. I have worked with children for 7 years before and after my degree, as senior and practitioner and I feel I have exhausted working in Childcare, I would like to still work with children but not directly In daycare. I am nearly at the end of my EYT (previously EYPS) and I would like some direction. I feel my degree(s) are wasted, may just give up and work in a call centre lol Please help!!

   Hi So two weeks into college and really need to decide on dissertation question!! I have 3 areas that I am thinking of would just like your valuable opinions!! So 1: Does Social background have an impact in children's learning? I like this idea however when it comes to interviews/questionnaires I feel I may not get a great response especially from parents. 2: The impact of Parents own educational experience on their child's learning. I like this idea also but not sure I will be able to uncover much research, but feel that parents will be happy to talk about their own school experiences. 3: Ok don't know how to form question or statement but I am interested in persona…

   Hi all, I have finally after much debating decided on my research proposal question. I have based it on the importance of adults engaging with children retelling stories using story sacks and props. Could anyone recommend any books/literature that might be useful? I have found lots already but I feel that you can never have enough references!!!! Also any links to theory would be great formaking a start with my literature review. Thanks Sophie123

   Hi - I have just started the BA (Hons) top up at Kingston Uni this week and wondered if anyone else was taking the plunge? I completed my Foundation Degree in March this year and excited (although apprehensive) in starting the first module QF6010 'Leading Through Transition'. Are there any fellow students out there that would like moral support and share the journey with me?? xx

   Hi all, I'm thinking about taking the plunge and getting back into studying. Just wondered if anyone has done/is doing this course and what their thoughts were on it. I'm slightly concerned about the workload and seeing as I spend a good chunk of my own time doing nursery planning etc (do not get me started on that subject!!) I'm wondering how I'll fit this in!
