Early Years Team

Welcome to our 2016 – 17 CPD brochure! You will find this years’ brochure packed full of exciting learning

opportunities addressing the prime and specific areas of learning.

Having analysed Ofsted inspection feedback and consulted with a wide

range of practitioners, we have commissioned several new courses

delivered by colleagues and partners who specialise in certain areas and/or

characteristics of learning.

To support you with your planning we have divided the brochure into

sections covering each area of learning; of course many courses cross over

so please ensure you check all sections.

We have also introduced a new section to assist you to meet your legislative

duties and aid you to sustain your business, from writing a business plan to

supporting children with SEND.

You will find an exciting new project in the ‘Overarching’ section of the

brochure and as always we will be holding our Early Years Annual

Conference on 10th

March 2017. It will be held at Nottingham Conference

Centre and as usual will feature some of the most renowned speakers in the

Early Years arena including…back by popular demand – ‘Experiential’ Alice

Sharp!

We are very excited about the courses we are bringing you this year we

hope you will be too!

Best wishes

NEW COURSE!

Working with Babies

Course Summary: This practical course has been developed in partnership with a nursery manager who

specialises in working with babies and is an essential course for anyone working with

this age group. The course details the changes the brain goes through in the first two

years of a child’s life and the importance of physical exploration for babies and young

children. It will also explore how modern life has made the experience of babies a more

sedentary one and how we can combat this. The course will also help you to get

parents involved by supporting you to develop fun, exciting activities that are relevant

to very young children but are still engaging for adults to take part in.

This half day is course is practical combining insights into brain development with hands

on activities to create a “tummy time” extravaganza for your setting.

Areas of Learning: While ‘Working with Babies’ predominantly meets areas of

learning: Personal, Social and Emotional, Physical Development and Communication

and Language the ideas for interaction promote a whole range of developmental

outcomes.

This course will support practitioners to gain knowledge on:

The neuroscience of early childhood and changes to the brain Communication and Language acquisition Physical and emotional development in babies

The effects of modern parenting

Neuro-motor immaturity and Bucket Baby Syndrome

Extension and Challenge in

Pre-School

Specifically developed in response to

Ofsted inspections.

Course Summary: This training has been specifically developed in response to Ofsted feedback whereby

inspectors had identified that children’s thinking needed to be extended and challenged

more during play and activities. The course meets the specific areas of learning as well

as contributing to all of the prime areas.

Practitioners are asked to consider the questions below on how they can ensure

extension and challenge in the pre-school room. If you need support answering these

questions then this course is for you!

Do you consider how your continuous provision gives children varied, imaginative

experiences?

Do your areas support children to make decisions, problem solve, be creative, peer

coach and make links in their learning?

Does your enhanced provision extend children’s interests and development?

Do you Consider Blooms Taxonomy to plan and support children’s higher order

thinking skills?

Does your room support sustained shared thinking?

How do you plan your adult led experiences to have clear learning objectives

particularly for Maths and Literacy?

Project Alice!

We were bowled over at the feedback from practitioners following our 2016 Annual

Conference, many about one of our keynote speakers Alice Sharp …

‘Alice was amazing I would like to have the

whole team inspired by her!’

‘Fantastic ideas and such an inspiring

speaker in Alice Sharp’

‘Alice was very enthusiastic and her active

approach engaged me and made me want

to research more of her ideas’

Early Years Specialist Alice is MD of Experiential Play and owner of resource company

Wonderbox. She is a renowned, brilliant speaker and works with many local authorities

and departments across Britain addressing the imminent changes towards experiential

learning throughout nursery and primary schools.

Alice also travels the Globe sharing her ideas and practices so we are enormously

pleased to be able to work with her on a year long learning environment project

starting in November 2016!

This is a unique opportunity to work alongside an incredibly inspiring early years

specialist to challenge your thinking and improve the quality of teaching and learning

for all children. Are you up for the challenge? Read on to find out about the project

and how you can take part but please be aware places are limited…so book yours

now!

Summary - Project Alice! Effective self - evaluation is the starting point for improvement and should be a key

aspect of our early year’s provision. One of the most effective approaches to improving

our practice and provision is when staff are reflective, consider the children’s

engagement levels, the effectiveness of the learning environment and the quality of the

whole provision

Our project will consider every aspect of playful and enriched environments that

promote learning and will introduce using the SSTEW Scales as a tool for reflection and

change.

The SSTEW audit is designed to link emotional well-being

and sustained shared thinking. The scales look at how

environment, interactions and relationships with your

children, support them to feel safe, comfortable,

interested and stimulated in order to learning and be in a

position to think deeply.

Talking Matters Supporting Speech and

Language Development in the Early Years

Course Summary: Communication is at the core of what we do in business, education and socially. Never

before in our history have we been able to communicate as quickly and widely as we

can today. There is no doubt we know good communication when we see it. Bearing in

mind the importance of communication in today’s society we want our children to

develop the strongest communication skills they are capable of. And of course, the

foundations of good communication skills are in the Early Years.

In this course, Speech and Language Therapist, Sue Hillier will guide practitioners to

consider:

Why it is so important to get language and communication right early on

What to expect at certain ages to raise our expectations for children’s language

achievement

How to assess children’s language and when to consider referral to Speech and

Language Therapy

A systematic and consistent approach to basic strategies to support language

development

Areas of Learning: This course meets the prime areas of Communication and Language Development and

Social and Emotional Development. This also lays the foundations for the specific area of

Literacy.

Course Leader: Speech and Language Therapist: Sue Hillier.

Audience: This course is suitable for Early Years practitioners who work in nurseries,

pre-schools, OOSCs and childminders who would like to increase their knowledge in

order to support children’s speech and language development.

Engaging the Hard to Engage Understanding the child with Autism/child with

significant communication and interaction difficulties.

Course Summary: Children with social communication and interaction difficulties have problems

understanding what other people mean. Communication is not just the words we use;

but how we use our body language, facial expression and tone of voice to communicate

with someone else. Therefore, it is helpful to establish other methods of communication

to encourage successful communication.

Areas of Learning:

This course meets the prime areas of Personal, Social and Emotional Development and

Communication and Language Development as well as supporting the specific area of

Literacy.

This three hour course will support practitioners to understand:

What are their needs

How these needs can vary

How they see the world

How we need to behave to engage them

How to provide ways to encourage them to request

How to reduce the sensory environments impact on the child

Course Summary: Sometimes our physical environment is very limited so it is vital that we work on the

human environment to create the best opportunities for children. Based on current

theory, extensive front line experience and new developments in children’s

neuroscience this course aims to enrich children’s lives by supporting adults to adjust

their own behaviour in order to provide optimistic, encouraging, positive environments.

fostering positive attitudes to help create and maintain an empowering atmosphere in

the setting. Those attending will gain the confidence, knowledge and insight to adapt

their behaviour to benefit the children in their care.

This course will support practitioners to: Create an empowering, positive environment

Get a child’s eye viewpoint on adult behaviour

Gain skills and confidence to create positive relationships with children.

Work on the physical and human environment to create the best opportunities

for children

and Personal, Social and Emotional Development, the specific area of Understanding the

World is also met.

Course Length: 3hrs (one morning)

Audience: All practitioners who want to create and maintain a positive and empowering

atmosphere in their setting. This is especially useful for practitioners who wish to inject

some enthusiasm and inspiration back into their work.

Heroes and Monsters A day of superhero fun and thought

provoking insights

Course Summary:

In this truly unique course practitioners will experience all the fun of super hero play

and its incredible benefits to children and will also discuss the very real monsters and

heroes in children’s lives.

This session seamlessly moves from laugh out loud silliness to stark information on the

emotional damage that some children experience at the hands of adults. It gives

practical advice on what we can do to help mitigate that damage and looks at the

profound and life changing effect a caring adult can have on a child’s emotional

wellbeing, development and mental health.

There are monsters in children’s lives but there are also heroes and sometimes all it

takes is one early years worker to be that hero.

Areas of Learning: While this course meets the prime areas of Personal, Social and Emotional

Development, Communication and Language and Physical Development, the specific

areas of Understanding the World and are also met.

This course will support practitioners to gain an understanding of:

How to empower children How to create an environment to increase levels of physical activity How to support children’s emotional wellbeing How to increase practitioner’s confidence

Course Summary After thoroughly enjoying and being suitably inspired by Helen Battelley’s workshop at

our Early Years Conference, Lucy and Sue were left wanting more! By January 2017 Lucy

and Sue will have completed additional training days led by Helen and will be eager to

cascade some new and exciting ideas for the delivery of creative dance and movement

based activities. The recommendation for children under 5 years old is that they should

participate in at least 3 hours of physical activity per day. In Nottingham, 10% of under-

5s meet this target, but 90% don’t. With childhood obesity on the rise, now is the time

to get children moving!

Warning: This will be a highly practical (and fun) day, trainers are essential!

Develop your confidence in the areas of dance, movement, singing and music

Consider how to embed music and movement within your daily routine

Understand the impact that physical development has on prime and specific areas of

learning

Consider how music and movement supports the development of auditory memory

Understand the impact that physical development has on brain development,

including bilateral movement; which is an essential skill for writing

Consider the links between music and movement and the characteristics of effective

learning

Active Maths: Mathematics as part of the child’s world!

Course Summary: To many adults, the words Maths and Play have absolutely nothing to do with each

other. For many of us, maths was a torture, something we had to do, and something we

didn’t understand. Play on the other hand was something we loved. Young children are

learning maths all the time through a wide variety of play experiences. From the time

they are born, babies are surrounded by sense impressions. Shapes in particular are of

immediate importance: babies react instinctively to the arrangement of shapes which

make up the human face. Children have many opportunities to enjoy and learn maths

through play both at home and in early years settings.

This course teaches approaches to practical mathematics which form part of a child’s

everyday world. Techniques for achieving developmental milestones through process

focused play are combined with a series of enjoyable activities to encourage children to

think about mathematical concepts that directly apply to their play

This course will inspire practitioners to look at mathematics in different

ways and will support them to: Develop quality interactions to encourage children to think about mathematical

concepts that directly apply to their play

Create an environment that supports children to problem solve

Develop techniques for achieving developmental milestones through process

focused play combined with a series of fun activities

Areas of Learning While this course meets the prime areas of Personal, Social and Emotional Development

and Communication and Language, the specific areas of Mathematics and

Understanding the World and are also met.

Boisterous Play for Under 5’s Rough and tumble without the tears

for boys AND girls!

Course Summary: This new course takes practitioners through a series of activities designed to put some

of the thrill and boisterousness back into play. Children are constantly told not to be so

rough and yet by restricting this kind of play we are in danger of restricting their physical

development and resilience.

This course highlights the importance of rough and tumble and boisterous play and

demonstrates a series of incremental activities to increase rough and tumble play in a

play setting. This course is ideal for any setting wishing to make play more exciting and

is especially valuable for settings where older children appear bored with the everyday

activities and their behaviour deteriorates.

Areas of Learning: While this course meets the prime areas of Physical Development, Personal, Social and

Emotional and Communication and Language Development, the specific area of

Understanding the World and is also met.

This course will support practitioners to gain an understanding of:

Why boisterous play is important for children’s development

How boisterous play can support children to be resilient How to encourage varying types of play (Deep, mastery, locomotor etc) How to support children’s physical development and personal, social and

emotional wellbeing through rumbustious activities Course Leader/s: Inspired Children Services: Ben Kingston-Hughes
