A levels vs T level vs apprenticeship

I’m currently applying for colleges and I’m not sure what to take. My future aspirations are to work in a nursery or in the childcare sector. This means that I could do a childcare t level, regular A-levels, or a childcare apprenticeship. However, I’m not sure which is best for me. I know that taking regular A-levels will keep many doors open for university. However I’m not sure if I want to go to university. Doing a childcare t level would mean that I get experience and can join the childcare sector straight after I leave college. And doing the childcare apprenticeship means I can go straight into work afterwards and get paid during unlike the childcare t level. Does anyone have any advice for me because I am a bit stuck. Thankyou

Don't do A-levels, if you genuinely want a career in childcare do the T level. A-levels are a lot more stressful and you won't gain the experience you'll need. Once you have experience qualification like degrees are largely pointless.
