Recruiting, Training and Developing Staff Part 2: Identify your needs

Management Provision
Clearly defining your goals can help you deliver the right training for your organisation in the long term.

In order to recruit the very best staff - and keep them on board - it is absolutely vital to have a commitment to ongoing training. As well as mandatory training such as safeguarding and first aid, there are many areas around practice and leadership that need to be carefully considered, particularly in the light of changes to the Early Years Foundation Stage and Ofsted inspections.

However, sometimes nurseries can struggle to ensure that training will add measurable value to both individual staff performance and the quality of provision as a whole. In order to determine your training needs, the first important step is to consider your personal vision for your setting. To be able to move forward with practice, you must first have a very clear idea about what you consider best practice to be and an open mind as to how to select from the wide range of training and advice available to you.
