I ‘ ve been studying through Fife College since I left school 13 years ago . I did my NC and my HNC and became a Qualified Practitioner . Then I left Fife College and did a stint working as a Practitioner . I recently returned to Fife College to do my HND and now I ’ m in the middle of doing my BA : Childhood Practice degree .
Currently I work in a fully outdoor nursery , which I never thought would happen . But I ’ ve thoroughly enjoyed working there while studying .”
