With the early years entitlements now being offered to babies from 9 months old, there has been an increase in the number of babies accessing childcare provision and it has never been more important to ensure that the environment and curriculum for this unique age and stage is planned, understood and delivered appropriately and effectively.   

With this in mind, and in response to sector needs, we have developed ‘Brilliant Babies’, a two-part training programme to specifically support and extend the knowledge and understanding of practitioners working with the under twos.  

This training will be delivered through a mixture of theory and practical activities which aim to put a spotlight on provision for all of those involved with this unique age group of children and provides an opportunity to reflect on the lifestyles and challenges faced in the current climate. 

Key themes explored through the sessions include; 

  • Child physical and cognitive development 
  • Key milestones in each prime area 
  • Early support strategies and interventions 
  • Unique health and safety considerations, including safer sleep guidance 
  • Effective environments and attachments 
  • Appropriate curriculums 
  • Working with parents 

Delegates need to attend both sessions.
