Moving from nannying and TA work towards classroom experience before PGCE

Thank you for all the responses.
I have a degree in Education and have done TA part-time before. I am currently working as a nanny, so I do have experience looking after children. I have noticed that most TA positions are for SEN areas, which I unfortunately do not have experience in. I want to get some full-time experience in a classroom before starting a PGCE (with QTS).

Most TA positions are linked to SEND funding and you can learn on the job. It’s a good idea to get some SEND experience and knowledge before starting a PGCE.
