I'm studying level 2 in children young people workforce... But it's about the experience...

I started this course last September. I'm doing 2 days a week in college and one day a week in nursery. In June, I will be a qualified nursery nurse as that's what I want to do. But I won't have enough "classroom" experience once I start looking for a job, will another day at volunteering in the same nursery be OK or do I need to volunteer full time?? As it's all about qualifications and experience.

Thank you

As you have three days filled at the moment, could you get a two day voluntary placement between now and the summer? I have no particular knowledge of your chosen career, but if I were interviewing I think I would look upon your application more favourably if you had experience of a different place, maybe just a different nursery, or school, or maybe one offering specialist SEN provision?

I'd agree with Leeds
In particular if (if you can afford the time) you were able to volunteer in a different sort of provision - it has to improve your employability if you have more, and varied experience.
