Training is incredibly important to us. We provide training to enhance our service, care and education we provide to our children and families. We understand that every child is unique and that we provide inspiration and influence them to develop and grow.

Baby Room Project Training

Here, at the Seedling Nursery, our practitioners receive regular ‘Baby Project’ training and apply the methods and theories in their everyday practice. The Baby Room Project is a fun, sustainable and an exciting project that enlightens practitioners and parents about their baby’s brain development in order to raise the quality of babies experiences. 

We are also currently piloting a ‘Baby Project Group’ aimed at parents with babies, so that we can share our in-depth knowledge and experiences. Please contact us for more information.
