I am sitting a test next wednesday to get on the Foundation Degree the tutor thinks my CAHCE DCE is not right for the course and told me to take an A Level. The question is about explaining the developmental needs of 0-3 or 3-5 years old, then describe how planned programmes or currclum supports childrens development. I have looked on the internet, and books but do not know how to get started on this topic, I have only 1 week and get all the information required onto 1 A4 sheet of paper. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance

I have just had my interview for the FDey, I was given a conditional offer, subject to interview and am now petrified that I have messed it up, we had an informal discussion with the group tutors and then an individual interview and then to top it all off a written assessment, a critical evaluation on a newspaper article - I realise that I evaluated it only rather than critically evaluating!!

What a morning, we have to w…
