Why recommend our training course?
You will complete six days of classroom-based training, followed by two weeks of work experience in the sector. We will then apply for a DBS for you and match you to a suitable work placement shortly after.

The training includes:
• Communication in the workplace appropriate to the sector.
• Getting to know the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework statutory requirements.
• Understanding the role of Safeguarding in early years, what this means and what it looks like.
• Child development- the physical, cognitive, emotional and social growth that occurs throughout a child and young person’s life.
• Early years practice and curriculum, supporting children aged 0-5 to reach their full potential.
• Working with parents and developing parental partnerships – helping them to understand and support their child’s development in the early years setting and the home learning environment.
• Exploring different types of early years provision.
• Insights into the early years sector through meeting some of our early years providers who will share their experiences.
• The role of Ofsted (including their role in being the regulatory body).
