Getting Ahead

Children's Care, Learning & Development Level 2 Certificate (Pre-T Level) at Alton Campus

In preparation for your journey into Further Education with HSDC Alton, we think it is important that you think and prepare for your learning before you start with us in September.

To enable you to have a positive start, a better understanding of your ‘childcare’ course and the units you will study, we would like you to complete the following work over the summer and email it back to us.

Please email all of your completed work to jo.cannings@alton.hsdc.ac.uk or helen.parrat@alton.hsdc.ac.uk.

We look forward to reading your work and meeting you in September!

Look at CBeebies bedtime stories on the internet or on CBeebies on the TV at 6.50pm.

View several different presenters and then write a reflection on how they read the story.

Write an account of your experiences with children and reflect on what skills you think you have for working with children and what skills you think you may need to improve.

My time at the college was definitely life changing, I have learnt a lot of new skills, and obviously it’s a completely new experience. The support was great, there was always people there to help and try make it as easy as they can for you. The college is really fantastic, it has helped me on the way to get to what I want to achieve within my career goals.

Everyone at the College was really helpful, and there’s lots of facilities, meaning it’s very easy to get your work done on time, and get good grades. The teaching and support was excellent, they were always on top of it, and made sure you got work done on time and you were challenged. Everyone is friendly and its really diverse, meaning you can get involved in lots of different things.
