Babysitting and Childcare Academy

Babysitting and Childcare Academy

We hold a Babysitting and Childcare Saturday Academy for 13-16 year olds at Nescot in Ewell, near Epsom. Our academies are fun and instructive Saturday courses that last four weeks. They start at 10am and finish at 1pm on consecutive Saturdays.

Thinking of a future in childcare or just want to be the best babysitter in town? This week course is packed with hands-on skills – from baby care and healthy meals to storytelling, play activities and more. Learn, laugh and build confidence while getting a real taste of the childcare world!

Week 1: Storytelling, creating and making a storybook, making playdough

Week 2: Physical care needs – skin, teeth, hair, bathing and nappy changing, making formula feeds

Week 3: Healthy eating, creating a menu for a baby and a 3 year old including healthy and unhealthy options.

Week 4: Planning creative activities for young children, linking to areas of development.

The cost for all four weeks is £95.00.

Students are expected to arrive 15 minutes before the start time and to be picked up promptly at the end time. Students will need to provide proof of age on arrival.

Refunds Policy

Please note that we are not able to issue refunds once a place on a Saturday Academy is booked. We are happy, however, to allow a student name change on the booking should a friend/relative wish to take the place instead. The booking name change must be made at least 3 working days ahead of the first class taking place.
