What does this event cover
Emmi Pickler was an innovative educator working in Hungary whose principled approach to the care of the very young baby and child has been a growing influence on education globally.
This workshop is an opportunity to receive an introduction to the main principles of the Pickler Approach which, with its emphasis on close nurturing care and attachment combined with the encouragement of self-initiated and autonomous physical play and development is extremely compatible with the highest aims of the EYFS: for us to support each child as a competent individual with their own rhythms and unique needs towards being a confident, competent and self-regulated learner.
This workshop will focus on evidence of the benefits of the Pickler approach with children from birth to three and allow us to reflect on how we might introduce these principles within our own practice

What does this event cover
This is a 12 hour paediatric first aid course that will take place over two days. As required by the EYFS safeguarding and welfare requirements, settings need to ensure that at least one member of staff with a current first aid certificate is present on the premises or on outings at any one time.
The course will focus on:
- problems of the respiratory system
- problems of the circulatory system

- miscellaneous problems.
In order to ensure a fair allocation of places, only two places per setting will be given in the first instance, with additional places being
allocated on a first come first served basis.
Important information:
Please bring photo ID, and inform the instructor if you have any serious health/ allergy issues.
Participants must attend both days to gain their certificate. Full attendance is required so candidates should arrive early, lateness can mean exclusion from the course/assessments. Leaving the room during the course to attend to other matters may lead to non-certification.
CPR, Recovery position, and Control of Severe Bleeding assessments require floor work and kneeling, so all candidates should wear loose fitting trousers, and appropriate footwear. Please carry out a personal risk assessment for the practical activities on the course.
Using phones during the course (other than for emergencies) may result in non-certification or being asked to leave the course.
There are 3 breaks during the day. The lunch period is usually 30 minutes. Please make arrangements so you can be in full attendance
