want to work with young children - what course?

[CHUNKYMUNKEY]

I am currently a sahm of 2 girls, youngest is 2. I would love to work in a preschool/nursery/creche when my youngest goes to school, can anyone advise on what courses are the best to do for this,

I have seen one at my local adult education centre for Certificate in Pre-School Practice and also Diploma in Pre-School Practice, are these any good? i dont want to pay for a course that isn't good enough for an employer to recognise.

If anyone could give any advice thanks.

Best one would be either the Cache Diploma in Child Care & Education or the BTEC National Certificate in Children's Care, Learning & Development at Level 3.

I personally don't rate the NVQs

Thanks juneybean, will look at those
