Understanding the equipment and nutritional needs of children from birth to five years. Within this coursework module pupils will investigate and assess different pieces of equipment needed within a nursery setting in order to effectively care for children aged between birth to five years. They will also present work which demonstrates their knowledge of a healthy balanced diet for children of this age range too.

Understanding the development of a child from birth to five years. Within this coursework module the pupils will study the development of a child over a period of time. They will be expected to plan tasks that will demonstrate the child’s level of development and will evaluate these tasks against the expected milestones for the child.
