The following training courses are available for staff from a range of early years settings (day nurseries, pre-schools, playgroups and childminders) as either full day packages or as evening sessions for groups of workers. The training has been most successful when divided into separate sessions. These sessions are planned to suit the timing of the group, with each person agreeing to take on small, manageable actions in between the sessions using an action planning approach.  This allows the early years setting or the individual childminder to develop in the area of training identified. A free consultation on the design of the training is offered with each training package booked! A full evaluation report can be completed on request.

Please contact me to discuss your specific needs. Anita worked closely with our setting as a Mentor for the Every Child’s A Talker project and her help was invaluable. She attended staff meetings and workshops with parents to support our practice and her advice and guidance was always practical, achievable and valued.  Through using observations and video feedback, she promoted good practice, whilst building on the confidence and abilities of all the staff team.  She was always a popular addition to our meetings and training sessions and we miss her input and advice! Georgia Satchwell Manager and owner Perryfields Day Nursery Bromsgrove			Additional Services available Planning a long term plan for the setting with all staff using the PATH approach Testimonials Anita has provided two training sessions for our staff this year around the EYFS and observations and planning and I have to say that both days were informative, suitable for all staff and above all enjoyable. Anita captured the staff and involved them in the training; she made the training specific to our settings and allowed the staff to express their ideas. The feedback forms that staff completed were very positive and staff commented on how useful they found the training to be. The training has had a big impact on our setting to the point that we have reviewed our long term planning, short term planning and learning journeys as a result of the training. I would highly recommend Anita to any early years setting. Thank you Anita. Tina Hart Owner, Building Blocks Nursery Ltd Birmingham
