Bedfordshire Employment and Skills Academy works with local nurseries and pre-schools to bring you this fantastic opportunity to learn what it’s like to work in an early years setting.
The Introduction to Working in Early Years Settings workshop is delivered over 3 hours. You'll:
- learn about the role of the early years practitioner
- undertake practical activities to help you understand how different types of play support a child’s development
- explore the progression routes into further training or employment in early years settings
