This award is given to a student or trainee practitioner who performs brilliantly on their childcare course and who shows the potential to be an exemplary childcare professional. The award is run jointly by Pearson and Nursery World with a rigorous process that uses tutor testimonials and a piece of written work submitted by the student themselves as part of their course.
This year, BTEC National Diploma in Children's Care, Learning and Development student Sarah Travis impressed the judges with an expertly-handled case study and glowing testimonials from her tutor at West Lancashire College, Joan Deveney. Her case study presentation on the day highlighted her understanding of the importance of working in partnership with parents to meet the needs of the child and displayed her strong disposition to work holistically in any future role. Sarah has obviously read widely around her subject and shows a commitment to child welfare, based on a sound understanding of child development and behaviour.
