Thanks thats a great help. The handbook says to start with the optional units and then much of what you do can be signed off against the standards in the compulsory units, its just that with the new maternity leave laws coming in in 2007 I don't think there'll be as many oppurtunities to work with smaller babies as there has been in the past and as I'm caring for a younger baby right now it seems to make sense to cover some of those units. Good luck next week Jellybaby! Let me know how it went

We did our optional units last - probably because we couldnt decide what to do til the last minute!

Makes sense that you should do the baby unit while you have a baby with you.

I started with the 'Provide for childrens physical needs' one (was C2, not sure what it is now) as this was suggested to have been the most straightforward unit dealing with hygeine, food/diet, safe environment, etc.

I would go with whatever you feel comfortable with....

hiya watgem! saw my assesser last week, she was quite impressed that i had finished a whole unit! (took me nearly all day during one of my 'xmas' days off!) anyway, i'm starting at the beginning of the compulsory units, ploughing through 301, dealing with 'positive relationships, it was actually 303 i got through and not 302, but will get there! keep plugging away!
