Bite-size training units are each based on an area of the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, to ensure that you know how to meet the standards for learning, development and care of children under five.

The training is interactive to allow participants to put their learning into practice and to enable them to reflect on this. Each unit includes ‘follow on’ activities to embed the learning further.
