We’re delighted to launch brand-new Student Knowledge Books to support learners studying the AAQ BTEC National in Early Childhood Development.

Think of these as revision guides that students write themselves! Each book provides a clear pathway through the specification, with structured activities that build and consolidate core knowledge.

Unit 1: Children’s Development

This Knowledge Book offers a comprehensive series of structured, step-by-step activities designed to equip students with the essential knowledge for Unit 1. By working systematically through the book, learners will:

  • Identify gaps in their own knowledge
  • Build awareness of specialist terminology
  • Strengthen familiarity with key concepts crucial to exam success

Unit 2: Keeping Children Safe

The Unit 2 Knowledge Book follows the same approach, guiding students through safeguarding and child protection content with carefully designed activities. It helps them apply knowledge to real-life contexts while securing confidence with key terminology and assessment skills.

Why use Knowledge Books?

  • Structured activities that guide learning
  • A hands-on way to consolidate learning and support revision
  • Helps students prepare thoroughly for internal assessments and external exams
  • Works brilliantly alongside our free digital glossaries
