Child Development
The early years sector focuses on the learning, development and care of children and includes jobs working as childminders and nannies, in nurseries, crèches and preschools.
Knowledge of child development is also important in a variety of occupations outside of childcare and teaching, such as in healthcare roles such as paediatricians, psychologists, occupational therapists, and speech and language therapists.
