Childcare and Early Years

Studying and working in childcare is an exciting and rewarding career. Our teachers will share their vocational experiences with you while you learn. We also provide the opportunity for work placements, which are a chance to discover what it's like to work in your chosen area, leaving you confident about launching your career.

I took a Childcare Level 1 and progressed to Level 2. My tutor has been really supportive and I love being a student at Merton. Florence Garrett, Childcare Student
