Baby room practitioners have a uniquely significant role because they influence sensitive human beings during the most formative period of life.
This is a tremendous responsibility and privilege. This course looks at some of the special traits and complex skills a baby room practitioner needs to develop.
This course was created in partnership with Community Playthings.

Description
Learning outcomes
- Tasks and responsibilities of the baby room practitioner will be outlined to learners, an important one of these being communicating with parents and carers
- The learner will gain an understanding of how children start learning from birth, and how the first years of life are the most crucial in development of mind, body, and spirit
- This course will give learners an overview of all of the ways that a young child learns – through tactile and sensory play, music, repetitive movement, motor activity, and communication with parents / carers and peers. The learner will gain an appreciation of play as a way for young children to develop an awareness of the world around them
- The importance of sleep and rest for babies is stressed to learners and the concept of outdoor sleep is discussed
Advantages of this course
- Babies engage life actively with all of their senses and emergent physical abilities. This is their way of learning about the world and much of their play consists of practising newly discovered motor skills. This course will outline the different types of play and give learner’s some ideas for stimulating play activities for babies.
- As a practitioner, you are a valuable resource for the developing child. This is a big responsibility, especially given the significance of the first few years of a child’s life to their future wellbeing, and this course will help you to feel prepared for caring and supporting the healthy development of young children; as well as giving you a pool of activities and knowledge to draw on when required.
- Reading texts, website, and video resources are utilised to explore the baby room in more detail and additional activities encourage the learner to reflect on the learning

Questions and answers
I have a member of staff who is dyslexic, can you confirm how much reading is involved? Or does the course talk to you are you proceed through it?
Answer:Hi Jeanette, the course includes a tutorial video, reading texts, PowerPoint presentations, good practice example videos, an activity sheet, and links to external websites. There are a number of reading texts in this course, but anything written by us has been formatted according to the 'dyslexia-friendly style guide' from the British Dyslexia Association, but we cannot guarantee that external resources are presented in dyselxia-friendly ways. I hope this helps. Thanks, Sophie
This was helpful.Does this course meet the Ofsted requirements to work with babies under 2
Answer:Hi Anna, this short course does count as training specifically relating to the care of babies. It covers play, communication, sleep, and respectful personal care. It does not cover Paediatric First Aid, which Ofsted also looks for, so additional training should be sought here if needed. I would recommend looking at the Pacey website for further guidance.
This was helpful.Does this course or any other course provide training or information on the correct way to safely feed babies in a nursery setting?
Answer:Hi Katie, this course does contain a couple of reading resources on bottle feeding and supporting weaning in nursery settings, and there is a video on how to prepare a bottle of formula milk. You may also be interested in our course on 'Nutrition in the early years' if you support children who have been weaned onto solid foods as well.
