Childcare

Are there any additional costs or requirements? 

If you are joining us as a childcare student you will need to complete a DBS check prior to starting your course. Please see below guidance regarding this. 

You will have received a DBS link to the personal email address you provided to college on your application form, this e-mail provides you with a username and password to log on. Please complete this prior to enrolment where possible. It will ask you for your personal details, name, address history, DOB etc. 

Important – Your DBS is an important document, just like a passport, if you lose it you will have to pay the cost of a replacement DBS which is £46.40 Please keep it safe.
