Welcome to the Summer Training Programme for 2009

In Westminster we value our Early Years practitioners and your crucial role in improving

outcomes for children and their families. We are continually working to find better ways to support you in extending and developing your practice. The introduction of the Early Years Foundation Stage in September 2008 has drawn our community of professionals more closely together and we have reflected this in the structure of this Summer’s training. The programme is designed to support you to deliver high-quality provision. The booking system has been simplified. There is one form at the back of this booklet. If you work in a group setting, your manager’s signature and contact details will be needed to complete the form. This does not apply to childminders. There are two course administrators. For courses with codes starting CD, your contact for booking and enquiries is Celia Lyons on 020 7641 1906 email: [email protected] For courses with a code starting EY, your contact for booking and enquires is
