The Importance of a Nurturing Childhood

In this course we will be looking at what it means to be a young child and the growth and development that is occurring throughout their bodies and minds.  We will explore what this means to those that care for children during these foundational years.  And the support and guidance that is required if you are to have the lifelong impact on your children that they need.

With attention increasingly turning to the experiences young children have missed in recent years and the need to “ready” them for school, focus can become lost.  In an industry with catch up demands, Ofsted inspections looming and the demands for ELGs, the importance of a nurtured childhood can seem to become secondary.  When the real catch up lies in every interaction, every moment and every experience you are offering to the children in your care.

So, join me as we explore the importance of the nurturing practices that you offer to your children.  Understand the significance of the methods you follow and the importance of nurturing a happy and secure child – not simply a learning child.  And gain the support and guidance to become recognised for the nurturing practices you follow every day.
