Tell us about your time at College
Broadstairs College offered a course which suited my interests and I felt like I would get more out of my college experience than in a sixth form because it was focused on one particular subject. The tutors in the Early Years department immediately made me feel welcome and made the course enjoyable to study.

I really enjoyed going out to placement in nursery settings as part of my studies. This gave me the opportunity to experience what it was like to work in the industry in the real world. Over the two years of the course, I was able to go into two different settings which allowed me to see how every nursery is different and gave me the opportunity to work alongside a variety of practitioners.
My favourite memory of College is…
My favourite memory of college is of when we spent the day experiencing what it would be like to have different disabilities. We played a variety of games and tried to carry out everyday tasks whilst having a disability, e.g. one of us had glasses on which gave you a sight impairment. Whilst this was very educational and gave us all a better understanding of the challenges that people face, it was also a fun day and bought us closer together as a class.
What's next?
After College I am hoping to go to university to study for the Early Childhood Studies degree at Canterbury Christ Church University, which will hopefully aid me in furthering my career in the Early Years industry. I am hoping that this course will open up more opportunities.
The College has helped me prepare for my future by…
