This course aims to provide you with a solid grounding for building a career in childhood development if you are unable to follow the more traditional route onto a degree course. It will also support you to gain the academic skills required for degree-level study. The foundation year aims to provide the skills and knowledge relevant for progression onto a degree in health, social work or social care in the statutory, voluntary or private sectors.

Success in this field demands a combination of creativity, empathy, logical thinking and extensive knowledge, coupled with the capacity to draw upon personal life experiences.
