tracy if you havent worked with children before you need to start at level 2. you will find 3 way too hard. they want you to do a level 3 as it is easier for them but every good practitioner works there way up thro education.

Another hands up for starting out at level 2

Child development, playwork principles are good for 'first foot through the door..

Children's play information from the NCB and newsletter sign up page

Job descriptions are also informative reads

Best wishes with decisions xx
