• Course overview

    Eligibility: This course is open to South Gloucestershire Early Years Settings, Childminders , Reception and Nursery Class Teachers only.

    These 5 x one-hour sessions will explore each of the Five to Thrive Blocks in turn, considering what it means to Respond, Engage, Relax, Play and Talk in everyday practice.  

    Designed for South Gloucestershire childminders, settings and schools that have already completed Five to Thrive training, the sessions provide an opportunity to revisit and deepen understanding of the approach.

    Participants will reflect on how the Five to Thrive principles are embedded in their practice, share ideas and experiences with colleagues, and consider how these approaches support children’s wellbeing, relationships and development.

    The sessions also offer time for professional discussion, helping practitioners to strengthen their confidence in using Five to Thrive within their own setting and to identify ways to build this work further with their team.
