Our teams learn best when supported with a range of styles of training. A combination of in-person training, virtual classrooms and an engaging community application means that our practitioners can select the type of training that is best suited for their different learning requirements. See below for a taster of some of the sessions we offer our practitioners;
Like many in the Early Years Sector, Jamie has a naturally inquisitive approach towards child development whilst tailoring his facilitation to meet the needs of all learners.

Here at Fennies, we have Explorers (0-2), Discoverers (2-3), Creators (3-4) and Inventors (4+) rooms that all require specific knowledge and experience to understand how children develop best. So whether you are look to hone your knowledge on brain development, understand how to be better attuned to babies, learning about the differing needs of toddlers or how to provide pre-schoolers with opportunities to develop as independent learners, we will have the right course for you.
We bring the upskilling of our teams to life; we provide in action training, spending one on one time with our practitioners in their individual settings nurturing their creativity and building on their passion by sharing new ideas, role modelling advice, excellent activity setups and interactions. Our inspiring approach supports staff members, confidence, development and career progression.
“I have worked in Early years for over thirty years and have had a varied and interesting journey throughout that time. I headed up an outstanding Reception department in an independent school for many years, I’ve lectured at college and also worked in several day nurseries both as a nursery teacher and in an advisory role. My passion is children’s play and the learning which comes from it, I also have a passion for teaching creative processes to children and I am constantly researching new ideas and sharing these with our early years practitioners”
