With funded hours expanding to include babies from 9 months old this September, many nurseries will be welcoming more of our tiniest learners. Whether you’re opening a new baby room or simply want to refresh best practice, we’ve created something just for you.
Introducing our latest bitesize CPD course: “Essential Baby Room Training”
It’s short. It’s practical. And it’s packed with all the essentials you and your team need to feel confident in the baby room; especially with so many changes coming up.
π₯ Why You’ll Love It
Bitesize & video-led: Designed for busy nursery teams, the course takes just 30 minutes to complete and features short, engaging videos you can watch anytime.
Mobile-friendly: Learn on the go or during quiet moments at work.
Straightforward testing: Just one multiple-choice quiz (with 3 attempts) to earn your CPD certificate, valid for 12 months.
Updated for 2025: Fully aligned with the new EYFS framework and current best practice for under-twos.
π What’s Inside the Course?
This isn’t just theory, it’s real-world, practical guidance built around the latest research and what baby room teams actually do day-to-day.
You’ll cover:
β Why the baby room is a foundation for life and how brain development begins even before birth
β The EYFS Prime Areas for babies: Communication, Physical Development, PSED
β How to make daily routines (like nappy changes and mealtimes) into learning opportunities
β Creating a safe, cosy, stimulating space with low-level furniture, sensory play, and calm areas
β The key person role and how to build rock-solid partnerships with parents
β What great baby room observation, assessment and planning actually looks like
β And most importantly, safeguarding because babies rely on us to be their first line of defence
π©πΌ Why This Matters Now
From September 2025, babies as young as 9 months will be eligible for 30 hours funded childcare, and that means more settings will be working with under-twos than ever before. This course is here to help your team feel confident, supported, and up-to-date — so your baby room can offer the care, connection, and curiosity that every child deserves.
