Peterlee Campus
If you're interested in childcare, we offer a wide range of courses which will allow you to work from children aged 1-5 in a nursery, or support children from aged 5-16 in a school environment. The college even has its own on-site nursery - Positive Steps - where childcare students can gain extremely valuable work experience.
Childcare is one of our most popular courses here at EDC, and it's not hard to see why!
It's a fantastic job where you'll really get the chance to make a difference to the lives of young people, and with courses here at East Durham College, you can get your career in childcare started.
There's loads of reasons why you should consider studying childcare with us, including:
- Amazing Facilities - students studying childcare will get to use our on-site nursery - Positive Steps - for real work experience, supported by our new nursery/lecture theatre which features a kitchen and separate nursery observation room for interacting with the children who use our nursery facilities.
- Highly Experienced Lecturers - with years of experience of working in the industry, our lecturers are the best people to teach you all about it!
- We've got a Course for Everyone! - no matter what grades you got at school, we've got a childcare course for you! Our childcare courses start at level 1 up to level 3, and we've also got a T Level in Education & Childcare, which combines traditional vocational learner with an extended work experience placement
