Nurseries in the UK are currently going through a period of major change - from implementing quality practices to the Early Years Foundation Stage. This can pose challenges for nursery owners, managers and practitioners alike.
As a trainer and fully qualified Early Years Professional focused on the EYFS and Special Educational Needs, I help nurseries to improve practice and meet the requirements of the EYFS. I plan and deliver training courses tailored to the specific needs of individual nurseries. Each course can be as short as one staff meeting, or could be an extended series of training and coaching sessions with nursery staff.
For early years practitioners and nursery managers, delivering the best care and education for children whilst juggling the daily necessities can bring huge pressures. However, with the right training and coaching, the challenges can be overcome and standards can be raised without overworking the team.
