We love hearing from our T Level alumni @gatesheadcoll when they move on so I was thrilled to receive this photo of ‘day one at Uni’ from six of our lovely recent leavers. Good look girls, enjoy the journey! #ncfe #proudteacher #futureteachers @TLevels_govuk

Recently I visited a nursery manager Joanne who told me what she looks for in newly qualified Early Years Practitioners. So if you’re “hard working, reliable and passionate about how children learn and develop” then enrol on an Early Years course @gatesheadcoll #EarlyYears

Level 3 childcare students leave @gatesheadcoll to go in to employment soon, so took part in paediatric first aid training so we know the children in their nurseries are going to be well taken care of. Edel and Lesley are now fully trained first aiders too! #firstaid #childcare

Level 3 Early Years @gatesheadcoll have been creating bird feeders this morning. Using vegan ingredients for #oneworldweek and discussing the links to Development Matters and EYFS for risks and hazards. We have some lucky birds!

Our Level 2 Early Years have done a fantastic job at remembering @gatesheadcoll
Early Years students joined the rest of @gatesheadcoll in observing the silence today as they remembered those who died in honour. Take a moment to look at the fitting tribute they have created in main reception. #RemembranceDay #Respect #grateful

Roll it, squash it or squish it! We love the endless opportunities play dough offers children. Early Years students @gatesheadcoll have made dough babies while exploring the holistic benefits to children’s learning and development. #sensoryplay #earlyyears

What fun we’ve had today in Early Years @gatesheadcoll today. Students have been learning how important PLAY is for children’s holistic development. How have we done this? Well by playing ourselves of course! #sensoryplay #EarlyChildhood #Students
