Programme Details
We are delighted to present the Early Years and Childcare Learning and Development
Programme which continues to provide high quality, exciting and challenging courses. All
courses link to EYFS in order to guide childcare providers to plan their personal
professional development in relevant areas. We regularly review and update all courses to
ensure they reflect current legislation and Calderdale procedures.

We all have a shared commitment to working together to ensure children's interests and
aspirations are at the heart of development and best practice is promoted and supported.

cleared at the end of programme year.

Certificates
Certificates are issued at the end of each course providing candidates have attended all
dates and the full sessions. Candidates who leave early or do not attend all dates will be

Positive Beginnings: Attachment
 and the Role of the Key Person
EYFS: The Safeguarding and Welfare Requirements- Key Person

Target Audience: All Early Years and Childcare Practitioners

Aims:              Good quality means care that is 'responsive, sensitive and stable'. This
                   session supports practitioners to recognise the key person role in
                   achieving this through staff/child relationships. The key person
                   approach is based on attachment theory and one of the main
                   principles of attachment theory is that 'dependence leads to
                   independence'

                   The key persons will form a triangle of important relationships between
                   child and practitioner, practitioner and parent alongside the parent/child
                   relationship. Practitioners who encourage attachment and develop
                   sensitive and responsive relationships will effectively meet the
                   emotional and physical needs of the child.

Intended Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the session learners should be able to:
     Understand the importance of the key person and underpinning attachment theory
     Identify quality interactions that support emotional development
     Recognise how secure, stable relationships influence a child’s development and
       future relationships
     Explore ways to develop effective relationships with parents or carers

How the learning is delivered:
Presentation, Group Activities and Discussions.

Positive Beginnings: Being 2!
EYFS Prime Area: Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Target Audience: All Early Years and Childcare Practitioners

Aims:              By the age of two, children have become mobile explorers who have
                   started to develop their independence. Their language skills have not
                   developed enough for them to make their needs known and they do not
                   yet have the social skills to manage turn-taking, sharing or waiting and
                   their tempers can erupt quickly. It is also a time of wonder and magic
                   when a time of dreams and imagination gets fuelled! This course will
                   support you to be responsive to the needs of two year olds and develop
                   your practice in caring for vulnerable, young children.

Intended Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the session learners should be able to:
     Understand the characteristics and needs of two year olds
     Examine a resource rich environment that invites experimentation and
       representational thinking.
     Explore the importance of movement and being active
     Explore models of responsive care

Positive Beginnings: Influencing
 the Home Learning Environment
EYFS Prime Area: Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Target Audience: All Early Years and Childcare Practitioners

Aims:               Research shows that supporting parents to improve the learning that
                    goes on at home will have a major impact on child outcomes, including
                    school readiness and attainment and achievement. Supporting parents
                    to help them provide a positive home learning environment is therefore
                    a vital part of improving outcomes for children, particularly those from
                    disadvantaged backgrounds.

                    This session supports practitioners to develop their understanding of
                    the potential of Home Learning Environments and suggests ways for
                    low-cost but high-impact changes in practice.

Intended Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the session learners should be able to:
     Identify ways to engage parents in early home learning
     Recognise the realities of family life and address barriers to engaging parents in
       home learning
     Discuss ways to encourage parents into early years settings to improve
       understanding of early learning
     Explore suitable, low/no cost home learning activities to support all development
       areas particularly numeracy and literacy

Positive Beginnings: The Link
 between Wellbeing and
 Involvement
EYFS Prime Area: Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Target Audience: All Early Years and Childcare Practitioners

Aims:               The higher the levels of well-being and involvement we can achieve for
                    a child, the more we can add to the child’s development. When there
                    are high levels of well-being and involvement, we know that deep level
                    learning is taking place.

                    This course will introduce you to Leuven Scale Assessments. The tool,
                    developed by a team based at the Research Centre for Experiential
                    Education (Leuven University - Belgium), focuses on two central
                    indicators of quality early years provision; children's 'well-being' and
                    'involvement'.

                    During this session you will discuss what is meant by ‘wellbeing’ and
                    ‘involvement’. You will explore how the Leuven Scale Assessment can
                    be used to measure the quality of your provision and its impact on
                    children's learning.

Intended Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the session learners should be able to:
     Have an understanding of the five point Leuven scales
     Recognise how ‘wellbeing’ and ‘involvement’ impact on children’s learning and
       development
     Identify how the scales will assist with EYFS summative assessments, learning and
       development trackers and the characteristics of effective learning
     Explore how to measure the quality of practitioner interaction and teaching using the
       scales

Positive Beginnings: Ready for
 School!
EYFS Prime Area: Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Target Audience: All Early Years and Childcare Practitioners

Aims:               School readiness is always causing a lot of confusion for parents and
                    childcare practitioners. School readiness is vaguely described in the
                    foundation stage as “Children reaching a good level of development in
                    the prime areas and literacy and mathematics”. School readiness goes
                    much deeper than this; a school ready child should be displaying many
                    other characteristics (Early Years 2016).

                    This session explores school readiness and how practitioners play a
                    part. You will discuss practical ways of how you develop children’s
                    readiness for school through an understanding of the current EYFS.

Intended Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the session learners should be able to:
     Identify the characteristics of ‘child readiness’ for school and the role of the
       practitioner in supporting and promoting development
     Explore activities and experiences that promote independence, resilience and PSE
       development
     Consider activities and opportunities that promote the characteristics of effective
       learning
     Use tracking effectively to monitor progress and identify any gaps in learning and
       development

Enhancing Professional Resilience and
 Wellbeing
EYFS: Suitable Person

Target Audience: All Early Years and Childcare Practitioners and Out of School Club
                 Practitioners

Aims:               Professional resilience is about our individual capacity to thrive in
                    situations of high demand and ongoing pressure. It involves how we
                    recover from significant challenges, difficulties and setbacks and then
                    use these for learning and personal growth in the workplace.

                    Being an early childhood educator can be both rewarding and
                    challenging. Sometimes these demands can take their toll and lead to
                    stress and burnout. Together, with our colleagues, workplaces and
                    broader networks, we can prevent or minimise the effects of demanding
                    and challenging environments on mental health and wellbeing.

Intended Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the session learners should be able to:
     Identify the traits of professional resilience, good mental health and wellbeing
     Explore ways to enhance your wellbeing through building strong relationships
     Identify your personal strengths and those strengths you are not utilising
     Explore ways the workplace can support professional resilience

Effective Supervision for Early Years
 and Childcare Staff
EYFS: Staff qualifications, training, support and skills

Target Audience: All Early Years and Childcare Practitioners

Aims:               This course aims to support practitioners to conduct successful
                    EYFS compliant supervisions.
                    The ongoing supervision of staff through a one to one meeting process
                    is a requirement of the EYFS.
                    The EYFS states (3.21), “Providers must put appropriate arrangements
                    in place for the supervision of staff who have contact with children and
                    families. Effective supervision provides support, coaching and training
                    for the practitioner and promotes the interests of children. Supervision
                    should foster a culture of mutual support, teamwork and continuous
                    improvement which encourages the confidential discussion of sensitive
                    issues.”
                    (3.22) Supervision should offer an opportunity for practitioners to
                    discuss any issues – particularly concerning children’s development,
                    well-being and safeguarding. Through supervision, practitioners
                    identify solutions to address issues as they arise; and receive coaching
                    to improve their personal effectiveness.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the session learners should be able to:
     Explore the key responsibilities for individuals carrying out supervision under a
       statutory duty
     Review examples of record keeping
     Identify the responsibilities of the supervisee.
     Identify effective interpersonal communication skills

Improving Teaching and Learning
 through Peer Observation
EYFS: Suitable Person

Target Audience: All Early Years and Childcare Practitioners

Aims:              With Ofsted’s proposed changes to the inspection framework in
                   2019, there will be a renewed focus on how well practitioners are
                   engaged in meaningful interactions with children. Peer to peer
                   observations are an effective tool to evaluate practitioner performance
                   and identify areas for improvement and learning. Practitioner levels of
                   wellbeing and involvement can also be assessed using Leuven’s scales
                   as part of the peer observation process.

Intended Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the session learners should be able to:
     Explore how peer observations can support and develop staff experience
     Discuss peer observation formats and how to use practically and effectively in the
       workplace
     Review how to give effective and constructive peer to peer feedback
     Explore how Leuven scales of wellbeing and involvement can be used to support the
       growth of practitioner resilience
     Identify ways to build peer observations into the supervision and appraisal process

Unconscious Bias: How does it affect
 your childcare provision?
EYFS: Staff qualifications, training, support and skills

Target Audience: All Early Years and Childcare Practitioners

Aims:              We all have unconscious biases (unintended people preferences), and
                   it’s important to be aware of these in our interactions. They affect the
                   ways we interact differently with girls and boys, parents/carers and
                   colleagues. The assumptions we make and the advice and directions
                   we give them. Although admitting and dealing with your own biases can
                   be challenging, it is essential to identify, reflect on, and discuss them
                   openly with colleagues.

Intended Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the session learners should be able to:
     Identify 5 common bias types and examples of where you might observe these
       biases;
     Discuss how our biases effect our interactions with children, colleagues and
       parents/carers;
     Identify ways to begin to change behaviours, minimise biases and improve practice..
