And your learning will be based on theory, research and practice. The course covers a range of topics that include: - UK early years policy - a young child’s digital environment - how adults support children’s learning - health and wellbeing - media reports about children - inclusion - knowledge of practice. - You'll have the opportunity to take placements across a range of early years settings On graduating you'll have the practical experience, academic and professional skills for a range of careers in the sector.

You will learn about how very young children grow and develop in the family and in different cultures. Practical experience, where you observe and work in different settings, underpins the theory taught. We have strong links with local providers of early childhood care and education, and there are placement opportunities throughout the course.
