Supporting early language and learning for two year olds
Understanding how two year olds develop and learn and what they need from adults in their early years settings
Two year olds are a distinct group with specific needs, yet too often when it comes to training they are the ‘poor relation’, lumped together with training for 3, 4 and 5 year olds. This taster course aims to recitfy this a little, and is aimed at those working with, or leading on, the education and care of two year olds. It will be especially useful for those who are new to working with this age range.
During this session, Kym will focus on:
- Key milestones in typical development in the area of language and cognitive development
- What adults do that boosts development in these areas
- Experiences, environments and interactions that support the language and cognitive development of two year olds

33 years ago I started work as a pre-school assistant in Norfolk and went on to teach and lead in London schools. I worked as an early years advisor for Lewisham local authority in London and went on to strategically lead the service. I now work nationally and internationally as a trainer, conference speaker and consultant.
I’ve spent the majority of my career working with leaders and managers in schools and settings, providing them with the support and challenge needed to effectively lead and sustain improvements in play-based learning.
As well as supporting at local authority and leadership level, I spend a significant proportion of my time working directly with practitioners in schools, day-care and pre-schools. This hands-on, current experience is key to ensuring that I retain a deep understanding of the reality, challenges and rewards of working with young children and their families. My work involves sharing what I have learnt about play and the difference it can make to children’s outcomes, and helping schools and settings to ensure that children are enabled to learn in as joyful, inspiring and memorable ways as possible.
In response to Covid, I created an EYS online professional learning platform called ‘The Place to Learn’. This is a subscription-based service which provides excellent value, on demand access to my entire collection of training courses for whole teams. Specific modules or whole courses are also now available to purchase separately for both individuals and teams.
