Have I missed something, or are you saying you were 1 year old when you had your daughter?

You can take A levels when your older, I left school before I took any exams and then at 41 (yes that old) I took my english lang/Lit GCSE with Sheffield On Line College (you can do this where ever you are in the UK) and from then I did some more and a year ago I took the AS & A2 English Lang/Lit in 8 months, whilst working and having a family and I surprised myself I passed.
So you can do them at any time.
