Didn't get grade for nursing

My daughter had a conditional offer based on her achieving a B grade in he CACHE childcare and education but got a C.

She declined an alternative of mental health nursing and doesn't want to go through clearing as only wants to study locally.

She is 40 UCAS points below at 240 and needs 280 to get onto nursing.

I don't know what to suggest as a booster so she can reapply again with the grades she needs, thought I'd found a Btec 90 credit course but apparently the credits don't equate to UCAS points.

An access course has been suggested which I thought was for 19+ but one college we've approached said they will take her at 18. I'm not sure how the fees will work though as it says £3k + and couldn't afford this.

Can anyone help please ??

What about a health and social care BTEC subsidiary diploma dove in a year, equivalent to an ALevel, DD has one and didn't struggle to get a distinction* worth 120 UCAS

Thanks all, will look into the Btec subsidiary diploma. She's been advised to do an access to nursing course and supposed to be enrolling this Saturday. I'm not sure this is correct as thought it was for 19+ but the college said she could do this at 18 so we'll see
