Brilliant Babies: Working With Birth – 2 Year Olds

Brilliant Babies: Working With Birth – 2 Year Olds

Every interaction counts – provide the highest quality care to babies and toddlers

What will I learn:

This NDNA childcare course will show practitioners how they help babies make sense of the world around them. Your role is vital in supporting healthy brain development, as you form secure attachments and provide stimulating environments.

The Early Years Inspection Handbook 2019 will judge nurseries on whether the “relationships between staff and babies are sensitive, stimulating and responsive.”

This course contains sections on tuning into babies’ needs, developing strong attachments, improving communication sharing and maximising learning opportunities through care routines. All delegates receive a booklet containing key activity ideas to take back to the nursery.
