Helen Battelley, internationally renowned consultant, trainer, author and speaker in physical activity/movement play in early education, talks to us about the sensory motor movement of 9-month-old to 3-year-old children. Exploring the reflexes and senses, Helen will give us a stronger understanding of how we can support the physical development of the youngest children.

We’ll discuss practical strategies to help manage difficult conversations with parents and establish robust policies to reduce the risk of unpaid childcare fees, ultimately protecting your business.

Fireside chat: Providers sharing their experiences
