Newbie needing advice

[annad01]

Hi everyone, iam new here! I have enrolled on the childrens and young peoples workforce level 2. I start in September and I was wondering if anyone can recommend anything i could read to get me started over the summer holidays.

Feeling a little overwhelmed with what i have done !

A warm welcome and congratulations on the new adventure!

Familiarising yourself with the level 2 handbook, its index, acronyms and the suggested sources for more information will help.

It would be good to contact your course provider or check their website to see which book matches your specific course.

If you're in England you can find the level 2 childcare handbook on amazon or you may find the CYPW level 2 handbook relevant.

Best wishes, look forward to hearing how things go xx

Thank you, The course provider has asked us to wait till september before buying anything but Iam unsure if thats because they will be selling the books there?

If they're a college they might have a loan system which would be great.

If you're in a job already or have a work placement where you're already familiar maybe ask for copies of the policies and procedures to read?

Best wishes

Its the adult education centre and they are selling them for £22.. I volunteer at a playgroup, so I will ask if I can have a copy..

Thank you so much

You're very welcome. Another good head start is knowing your home nation's early years framework inside out :) if you're in England it'll be EYFS 2014

All frameworks and links can be found here
