Do you recognise the scene? Another day within school or nursery, when a sweet and wonderful child quickly becomes resistant, demanding or overwhelmed...
Children who can’t quite put into words what they’re experiencing, become upset, distracting and out-of-control... Children who tug on your heartstrings because you know they need more from you than your current training provides - that extra support which will allow them to feel valued, heard and understood, so they can thrive!
If so, you’re in the right place.
As well as supporting parents, Confident Kids is here to empower and equip practitioners who’ve already tried every trick in their toolbox when it comes to children with special education needs. Practitioners who are already going above and beyond to support the kids in their setting, but know they simply don’t have the right tools to build the confidence of the children who need it most - yet.
Here’s how we can help:
School & Nursery Training
Meet your children’s needs with confidence and ease with our comprehensive and cost effective training aimed at SENCOs, EYFS practitioners, teaching assistants and teachers, in both nurseries and schools.

Bespoke Training to Support Individual Children
Fully support the children in your care with bespoke training targeted to their individual challenges. In these bespoke training sessions, together we will:
● Define each child’s exact needs
● Design achievable objectives and goals relevant to your school or nursery setting
● Plan and provide the training which will empower & equip you to meet these goals
● Closely review the process to ensure the strategies are effective in meeting the targets and ensuring staff are confident in applying and adapting them as the child’s skills develop.
Most importantly, bespoke training is flexible to your needs. Allowing you to get the tools and encouragement you need to best enable the children you are supporting to succeed.
