Supporting the development of babies and toddlers in daycare settings
This three part course is aimed at those working with, or leading on, the education and care of under twos.
Due to the vulnerable nature of this age and the huge amount of brain development that occurs before infants reach the age of two, it stands to reason that their education and care should be in the hands of those with the highest levels of understanding of this unique stage. However so often there is a dearth of external professional learning opportunities available that are specific to this age group and too often practitioners have to sit through watered down versions of training aimed at older children.
I hope to restore the balance with these sessions focusing on key aspects of babies’ and toddlers’ development
I will focus on:
- Important aspects to consider when working with this age range
- How children under two think and learn
- Key milestones in typical development
- What adults do that supports development
- Experiences, environments and interactions that support the brain

About Me
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.
