Nursery and Child Care Management Course
Introduction:
Working in the childcare industry as a nursery manager requires a good level of knowledge and skills to manage a team of professionals and run the business profitably.
This takes a lot of determination and hard work and this Child Care and Nursery Management course helps you to prepare for the step up from being a practitioner to managing and leading a team in a successful day nursery.
This course has been designed to teach the knowledge required to make the move from a nursery practitioner to a management role. The course is tailored to teach the skills required to successfully manage a team of individuals working within the childcare sector.
Child Care and Nursery Management training course is split into two modules:
MODULE I – Childcare Management

Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximize their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course. (Get in touch for more info)
