Absolutely! Although I think it helped that our tutor had previously worked as a childminding coordinator so she had a good idea of how childminders work. I am now in my second year of the BA Hons top up

i did this too. i worked 4 days a week, went to college wed nights and saturdays and did study and paperwork on my 'day off'. I went on and did my top up year at uni - did the full time study route but only attended one full day and evening a week (12-9pm).

I loved it!
