At Bournville: Foundation Degree in Early Years

After Bournville: Jo has now started a degree in Early Years. Her nursery has recently received ‘Outstanding’ status from Ofsted

Quote: I never thought I was academically talented and felt unsure about starting the course, however, my worries were soon put at ease. The course was very interesting and I was surprised to see just how much I enjoyed learning again and putting my new skills into practice at work. Bournville tutors were absolutely fantastic – full of knowledge, practical experience and enthusiasm to help the students succeed. Doing the Foundation Degree changed my nursery immensely, hence the ‘Outstanding’ status.
