Last week, I attended the final meeting of the Baby Room project expert working group. It has been a privilege to have been part of this wonderful initiative led by Kathy Goouch and Sacha Powell of Canterbury Christ Church University.
Their work with baby room practitioners in a range of nurseries has shown that those staff who tend to have the least support and status can make huge gains in confidence, knowledge and practice, particularly benefiting from discussions with their peers in other settings. This can only be good for staff, parents and, most importantly, the babies themselves.
Although this project has now come to a close, there is interest in other areas in doing something similar, and it would be great if this sort of work could be replicated on a larger scale.
