Bespoke training packages:

No two schools or nurseries are the same. That's why we offer fully customisable training packages that address the unique challenges and needs of your staff. Whether you're seeking in-person workshops, online webinars, or blended learning options, we provide flexible solutions that fit your schedule and objectives.

Our custom-designed training packages are crafted to empower professionals with the latest insights and strategies in early childhood development. From fostering emotional intelligence to promoting positive behaviour management, our training sessions are designed to equip you with the skills needed to create a nurturing and supportive environment for the children and families you are working with.​

​

Self-regulation training package:

In addition to our bespoke training packages, we have developed a training package for staff to become confident in understanding children's behaviour and emotional regulation. 

This training is delivered over 6 weeks and offers the opportunity for staff to develop:

• A deep understanding of child brain development and attachment.

• Practical strategies to co-regulate and respond to behaviour effectively.

• Tools to support children’s emotional resilience in everyday practice.

• Reflection exercises to enhance their own emotional well-being.

​Each session is 2 hours long and can be delivered online or in-person.

Staff wellbeing:

I have developed an 8 week staff wellbeing programme which integrates compassion and neuroscience to enhance staff resilience and wellbeing. The programme aims to: 

• Develop self-compassion and resilience in staff.

• Enhance emotional regulation and stress management.

• Foster a positive workplace culture.

• Understand neuroscience to improve mental wellbeing.

​Each session is 2 hours long and can be delivered online or in-person.

​

Personalised consultations:

We offer one-to-one consultations to professionals working with young children, providing tailored guidance on children's behaviour, social and emotional well-being and nurturing supportive relationships. We will work collaboratively with you to address specific challenges, implement effective strategies, and promote a positive and inclusive atmosphere in whatever environment you work in.

​

Reflective practice sessions:

Professionals often encounter challenging situations in their work. Our reflective practice sessions offer a supportive, non-judgemental space for staff to think about, discuss and learn from their experiences. These sessions facilitate personal and professional growth, enhancing the ability to navigate difficult situations with resilience and effectiveness.
