Welcome to our NEW online training module from Childminding UK, created in partnership with expert consultant Ellie Collar. Children’s mental health is more important than ever. With an increasing number of young children showing signs of anxiety and emotional distress, it’s vital that childminders understand how to support their well-being in everyday practice. That’s where this brand-new online training module comes in.
£20.00Why is this course essential for childminders? Most lifelong mental health challenges begin in childhood. But the good news is that early years practitioners—like you—are in a unique position to help children develop the skills they need for positive emotional well-being. From learning how to manage stress to building resilience, the foundations for good mental health start in the early years.
Learn at your own pace This online course is designed to fit around your busy working day. With engaging, interactive elements throughout, it’s easy to follow and packed with actionable insights you can use immediately in your childminding practice.
The module consists of 5 main areas that are pivotal to well-being and mental health, which you can explore either as one whole module, or you can tackle each section as it becomes important within your practice.
