Hi Candice, and welcome! Thanks for your query - I'll have a go at suggesting where you might go for answers to your questions. Hopefully, someone with more specific knowledge can add more detail.

The QCA website has a webpage with some information on "Early years education and childcare qualifications"

Your local FE (Further Education) college will almost certainly run some or all of these courses, part time, and full time. Here is a link to the courses run by my local FE college, Coleg Menai.

Here is a list of all the FE colleges in the UK . Hopefully, there will be one (or more, if you're lucky) near you, and you could visit their website first, then call in to the college in person later.

Best wishes for the future

Hi
Learn Direct is always a really great place to look for courses.
Their website is:

http://www.learndirect.co.uk/

or you can phone them on
0800 100 900

They have a database of loads of courses running throughout the country. I've used them before and they are pretty good. If you call them and speak to a good adviser, they can also give you advise on funding etc for your course.

Oh, and whilst we are on the subject of funding, you might want to check out a website called J4B

https://www.j4b.co.uk

It's a business funding finder website that will help you sourse business grants and loans that are available in your area!

I used to be a business adviser in a former life, so if you need any more advise, just let me know.

Good luck with everything.
