Welcome to our new early Years Foundation Stage and Childcare Professional Development Programme, for September 2011 - July 2012. This year we are delighted to be able to offer a wide range of training courses and professional development opportunities. The programme supports Dudley practitioners of ofsted registered childcare provision to develop high quality practice in line with the EYFS guidance and statutory framework. In Dudley we recognise continuous professional development of the workforce is vital in improving quality and outcomes for all children.
‘The evidence is clear on how a well qualified and appropriately skilled early years workforce makes a real difference to the quality of provision and outcomes for young children.
Dame Claire Tickell review of the EYFS 2010
We invite and encourage you to access this programme to nurture your own continuous professional development.
