About this event

There has been an increase in the number of very young two year olds in early years settings. This has partly been driven by an understanding that early intervention with this age group can improve later outcomes.

Meeting the needs of two year old can be a challenge even for experienced practitioners. In this session we look at how to work effectively with this age group. We will consider not only features of two year olds’ development but also the practical implications including settling in, supporting language development and creating an effective play environment. We will also consider the role of precise assessment for this age group. In addition, we will consider how two year olds at risk of educational disadvantage may be given additional support.

Delegates will:

  • Explore  two year olds’ typical development across the prime areas;
  • Consider some of the practical challenges of working with this age group;
  • Examine the developmental needs of this age group;
  • Explore ways of supporting children who are at risk of education disadvantage.
