Why is independence important? Independence is about learning to do things for yourself, which includes making decisions and taking on responsibility. These are hugely important life skills for children to learn. When independence grows a child's confidence also grows. As children master new skills or take on some responsibility, they begin to see themselves as being capable. This gives them added confidence and makes them more likely to try out new things. Learning life skills will also help a child's physical development, particularly their hand-eye co-ordination. Many everyday tasks, such as hanging up clothes, pouring out drinks and tidying away toys, all involve using physical co-ordination and make an excellent foundation for later skills such as handwriting and drawing. This session will provide practical ideas about the opportunities you can provide so children can play, explore and learn independently.

23 Leadership & Management COURSE 25 High Quality Supervision Supervision when done regularly and well is one of the best management tools ever! Many nurseries place the burden for conducting all supervisions on their managers. This means that they are not done often enough and take up huge amounts of a manager s time. My method trains owners, senior members of staff and junior managers, such as room leaders, to undertake supervision in a professional way. Showing how to make good records that will help staff make improvements to their work or gather evidence securely for a disciplinary hearing. Find out how to avoid tribunal pitfalls and if the need arises to discipline staff. Find out about tried and tested ways to improve staff s work and keep a really good managerial overview in place. This is one of my most popular courses with owners using it for new managers of varying levels time and time again.
