Early Years practitioners

Early Years practitioners are trained professionals who support young children's development, learning, and well-being from birth to around five years old. They work in settings like nurseries, preschools, and daycare centers, creating safe and enriching environments. Their responsibilities include planning activities to promote social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth, while building positive relationships with children and families. They observe children’s progress, identify individual needs, and work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure each child’s holistic development. Essentially, they play a vital role in laying the foundation for children’s future learning and overall well-being.
