Bolton Start Well

Embedding a language rich environment is a new live online course for practitioners in group settings (PVI and Schools) which will be held online over two half days and comes with funding. 

The course explores the tools available to enable you to reflect on and embed a language rich environment in your setting, building positive relationships and creating a shared understanding with the practitioner as the main resource to develop children’s communication and language.

Over the two-part training course, participants will:

• Build on and embed a language rich environment in setting through sharing good practice, reflecting and identifying ways to move forward.
• Reflect on and embed good practice around good adult child interactions and vocabulary development, as detailed in the revised EYFS.
• Consider the Communication and Language Toolkit to ensure the most effective use of resources.
• Reflect on the role of the adult in spoken and non-verbal interactions, to support children’s learning in your setting and supporting parents to carry this on in the home environment.

The course is fully funded (free) for Bolton providers, and as part of the funding for the development of the Early Years Integrated Communication and Language Pathway, we are able to offer each setting £130 towards backfill for the release of one staff member to attend both part 1 and part 2 of this training.
