Pen Green's conference on 29 January promises a valuable opportunity for practitioners to explore the importance of relationships between babies, toddlers and adults and use new insights to inform their practice.
Pen Green assistant director Felicity Norton says, 'With the free entitlement for disadvantaged two-year-olds, the sector will need more practitioners who are skilled in looking after this age group. It tends to be the least well-qualified who do this work and there is a perception that it is about a basic model of care. We want to help develop a more responsive, stimulating approach.'
Relationships with both peers and adults are fundamental to children's healthy development and thinking. The conference aims to address these themes in the light of current research and stimulate the way practitioners support these key relationships.
