More information about this Course
Introduction
Are you great with kids? Do you enjoy helping them play and learn the world
around them? Maybe you want to offer babysitting alongside further studies. If
you think that a job looking after children and young people is for you, this is
the perfect course.
This hands-on course will see you complete a minimum of 250 hours in
placement which is a great way to get a better understanding of how your class
studies relate to the reality of working with children. The course covers both
an Award in Babysitting and a Level Two Certificate in an Introduction to Caring
for Children and Young People.
We have high expectations of you as this type of role can be challenging at
times and demands high standards.
You’ll be expected to organise your workload and develop both practical and
study skills throughout the course.
During this course, you’ll study:
- Keeping Children Safe in a Babysitting Environment
- Craft Activities with Young Children
- Children and Young People Development
- Safeguarding the Welfare of Children and Young People

Entry Requirements
You’ll need four GCSEs to include Maths and English Language at Level Four.
(minimum grade C or above)
You’ll also need two good references (one must be from an employer or a
recent school/college report). You’ll also need to show good communication
skills for working with children at interview and complete a written
assessment.
It is really important for you to have a criminal records check called an
enhanced DBS check before you can go on your work placement.
So, you need to be aware that if you’ve received a caution, reprimand or
conviction it may mean we can’t enrol you on the course and you won’t be able to
get a job in the care and childcare sectors.

Assessment and Progression
Assessment: You’ll be assessed by written assignments, reflective journals,
