i dont know about near you k but near us they do the c and g which always start in sep but then they also do taster courses as well for adult learning which may be worth doing and i am sure they do these types of things with a creche. Phone your local council or southamptons or porsmouths? they may be able to help and this may be able to give you a head start for the proper course. You never know someone maybe looking for a trainee and if you have been prepared to do this then they may take you on voluntary??

If this does not work then maybe get a starter book and some materials and have a go. I am not suggesting that this replaces college but at least you would feel like you were doing something.
