Q. I'm a nursery manager. How can I deliver effective staff training sessions?
June O'Sullivan: Nursery staff are working longer hours and often the only time for training is at the end of a long day or staff meeting.
Give them plenty of notice and ensure training takes place in a comfortable environment and that there is healthy food and drink available. Turn off your phones and make it a sociable and positive atmosphere.
Crucially, you need to plan your session well - whether it concerns a new initiative, embedding existing practice, refreshing a policy or solving a pedagogical problem.
Start with a clear introduction to the topic and explain how any changes will benefit children.
