Early Years Essentials: Introduction to Early Years Essentials
Designed to inspire and empower practitioners, Early Years Essentials sessions provide an introduction or further insight into key early years themes, including child development, play, building positive relationships and interactions, observation, assessment and planning, behaviour and emotional regulation, and working effectively with parents and families.
Each session, whilst standalone, builds opportunities for reflection, discussion, and practical strategies with links to further learning opportunities and a wide range of resources and CPD options to support workforce development.
