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 katie.clarke@alton.hsdc.ac.uk or jenna.hickman@hsdc.ac.uk or chloe.pereira@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.

The teaching and support was really great, the quality was really great, all the teachers really care about your education as well as your wellbeing, they take everything into consideration and they’re great.

Katie Whittingham, A Level student

My experience at the college was enjoyable and productive, with thoroughly helpful people surrounding you, an excellent experience. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was, with the work shop time and experience I had, it was a great two years preparing me for the next stage.

Edward Smith, BTEC student

My courses were all especially interesting, I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. All of my lecturers were extremely knowledgeable and I have learnt a lot from them.
