Thank-you for your help! I am now keeping my options open as I've been offered to do a level 3 Children’s Learning and Development (Early Years Educator) apprenticeship with LearnDirect in Coventry where I live inside a nursery setting as that is the direct childcare career I want. Although I have enjoyed being a childminding assistant doing my level 2 Children and Young People Workforce apprenticeship, I am very excited to do the level 3 apprenticeship in the nursery setting in September instead! I will be asking my tutor at LearnDirect next week which book I should buy and will definitely let you know what is recommended!

Thanks again Xx
