Nursery Staff Training Day | Hungry Caterpillar Day Nurseries
Recently, our teams came together at Alec Reed Academy for a nursery staff training day and it was a really productive one. Four topics were covered across the day, led by specialists who know early years inside out.
What we covered at our nursery staff training day
Our team explored best practice for caring for children under twos which is one of the most important and specialised areas of early years care. They also focused on behaviour to understand how young children communicate through their actions, and how our educators can respond with patience, consistency and care. Both sessions were delivered by EYC.
The day also included first aid training, ensuring our staff are always confident and prepared to respond in any situation. And finally, the team worked through curriculum development to improve processes on how we plan, adapt and enrich the learning experiences we offer every child, every day.
Our chefs joined in too
It wasn’t just the nursery floor team. Our chefs came together to review menus, share what’s working well across the settings, and talk through the challenges that come with running busy nursery kitchens. Good food is a big part of what we do and making sure our menus are nutritious, varied and loved by the children takes real collaboration.
Why this matters to you as a parent
Training days like this don’t just benefit our staff, they also benefit your child directly.
Every session our team attends, every skill they refresh, every conversation they have about how to do things better. They all feed back into the care and education your child receives across all of our nurseries.
We’re proud to be a nursery group that takes professional development seriously. Because standing still was never really an option.
Training days like this happen regularly across our group. We’ll be sharing more here on the blog because we think it’s important that parents can see exactly how we invest in our people.
