We have 6 new HNC and HND students with us in the ECC this year. They are going to be with us from now up until the end of June. These students will be working alongside practitioners to support your children’s development and learning the role of a practitioner in early learning and childcare. In order for them to complete their course effectively students have to carry out observations on children which they use to write reflective accounts. No children’s names will ever be used on these observations. They are also required to create a floorbook with the children which consists of evidence of activities in which they have carried out. They are encouraged to include photographs in this floorbook. Photographs of children will only be used and accessed by students and their college lecturer.
