The highly effective professional development courses we offer are underpinned by the latest research as well as DfE and Ofsted thinking.
What Early Years training do you offer?
The HFL Early Years team offers a wide range of training that can be tailored to meet the specific development needs of your school or setting.
Our programmes include:
Termly training programme
This inspiring termly training programme responds to current challenges, trends and data facing early years practitioners and teachers in PVI settings and schools.
It includes statutory focused courses such as First Aid, Safeguarding, Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP) moderation, working with Under 2s, as well as EYFS specific subject knowledge courses.
In addition to these standalone courses, we also offer specialised early years training programmes to support and develop the quality of your team, including:
- Annual Early Years Schools Programme
- Terrific Talkers
The majority of our termly programme training courses are interactive sessions delivered via live webinar and these provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions and taking part in collaborative activities and tasks with other participants.
We offer face to face training when the content of the course requires this type of delivery to ensure positive outcomes for practitioners.
