Training for Early Years

Staff

The Family Links training for Early Years staff offers a thorough introduction to the principles and practice of the Nurturing Programme for all those working in Early Years settings and hoping to adopt an emotionally literate approach to promoting positive behaviour in very young children. The approach particularly emphasises the importance of facilitative approaches, both in group work with children and in one-to-one support with adults.

This training is offered as a 2-day course, as 4 half-days or as 6 two-hour sessions. An extra session is offered for staff wishing to lead Circle Time groups.

The training reflects the Four Constructs on which the Nurturing Programme is based. Family Links trainers expect to demonstrate the Four Constructs in action throughout the training.

Trainees are involved in many activities, some of which are personally as well as professionally challenging, stimulating and rewarding. Everyone working with the Nurturing Programme needs to be reasonably comfortable with the emotional issues in their own lives, as well as those they may encounter in the lives of people they support.

Please read our information on training for Schools and Early Years for more details.
