What the college says

Get Set! to start your journey into the world of childcare with Nacro Education Spalding. If you’re thinking about a career working with children, looking for something a bit different from mainstream college, and still want a nationally recognised certificate, our Get Set! for Childcare (Caring for Children) Level 1 is a great place to start. Crafted alongside industry experts, our Childcare Level 1 course will give you a broad introduction into the childcare sector. You will gain an understanding of stages of development through play whilst enjoying practical lessons including baking and forest school visits alongside written tasks and group discussions. Through work experience, practical lessons in small, personalised classes and one-to-one support we take you through the basics of childcare and show you how to make learning fun, keep children safe and involve them in group activities. Giving you the transferable skills and knowledge, you need to start your career, progress onto further levels of study, or pursue an apprenticeship. Study will take place in the centre with opportunities for external visits and trips throughout the course. At the end of the course, you’ll have the hands-on experience and confidence you need to take your next step.
