I have always loved being with children and thought I must get qualified so that I can do it on a professional level. That is when I came across the Nursery Assistant Certificate course from Study 365. I have learned so much about working with children, and I believe this is the first step in my career as a Nursery Assistant.

Really well laid out on-line and easy to follow once you know how. I have really enjoyed doing this course on-line as and when I can around my own older children. And will be looking to add to this course achievement with ‘Study 365’ with the next level up hopefully.
