Course Overview
The event will begin with a keynote presentation exploring the vital importance of high quality practice in the earliest months of life and how babies’ rapid development is shaped by responsive, knowledgeable care. Participants will then choose two out of three practical workshops focused on building early communication, supporting physical development, and creating nurturing, well planned environments for babies. Each workshop offers evidence informed strategies that strengthen practitioner confidence and improve outcomes for infants. Together, the sessions provide a powerful foundation for elevating birth to 18 month practice across early years settings.

1. Early Voices: Building Strong Communication Foundations for Babies (0–18 Months)
2. Movers in the Making: Supporting Physical Development from Birth to 18 Months
