Outstanding Early Years Management: Virtual toolkit

£249.00 + VAT

Helping current and aspiring managers develop their leadership skills and build their knowledge-base. 

The last few years have been extremely challenging for Early Years Managers, including changing rules from the Government, staff absence, risk management, and managing business continuity, to name just a few.

This is why it’s important to keep your skills up to date with the latest trends and legal requirements in early years, and be prepared for the future.

How will this course help early years settings?

The fully online course will provide best practice guidance on being an effective manager and leader – including how to get the most out of your team and deliver high-quality education for all children in your care.

It will also explore current early years policy, changes and developments in the sector, and how the role of early years manager has evolved.

The course will provide practical support and strategies for managing your team, and will also help practitioners meet Ofsted’s Leadership and Management judgement criteria and reach outstanding.

The course is designed for flexible learning so you can fit it around your busy schedule, and with a year’s access you can learn at your own pace.
