Welcome to the latest edition of Little Learners


In this issue, we’re shifting the focus to our littlest learners as we talk all things babies and toddlers with help from friends and special guests.


Hear from Richard from the Early Years Alliance, who kicks off our new issue by discussing change and the importance of a well-thought- out settling-in process for babies transitioning into nurseries.


Get help from our friends at Yellow Door as they give us some practical ways to encourage toddlers to talk and feel more confident in expressing themselves.


Heidi Hill from Bright Horizons gives us her expert insight into how physical environments support learning and development in early years and some top tips on maximising your spaces.


Dive into the world of Montessori with Harriett, a Montessori-trained educator from Nurture Childcare, as she offers us a selection of hands-on activities rooted in independence and discovery.


All this and so much more! We hope you enjoy Little Learners issue 20.
