Uni and college for single mum?

Wondering if any other parents have done both at the same time?

I'm studying at uni part time (starting forth year in Sept) and have recently been panicking that I may not be able to get a job once I graduate. I had an interview this week for a part time level 3 course at a local college and have been offered an unconditional place.
The tutor didn't seem concerned and I know that lots of people juggle work/family life/college/uni but I'm worried about whether I will be able to! Am I being unrealistic in thinking this could be achievable?

I manage fairly well at uni and most of the time get between 60-75% for assignments (work hard to get those marks though!) so I'm hoping that it won't be too much of a struggle and that with some careful time management I'll be able to cope. The college course also requires me to undertake a placement of 12 hours per week, I have worked out a timetable that means I can fit it all in and still have one day per week free, childcare costs would be ÂŁ70 per week.

Any advice or tips would be very much appreciated!
