Room Leader Essentials: Stepping Up to Leadership

Room leader is the hardest promotion in early years: yesterday you were one of the team, today you lead it. This course gives new and aspiring room leaders the practical tools to lead practice, run a room and manage people — without losing the relationships that make a room work.

What you’ll learn

  • Stepping up: the shift from practitioner to leader
  • Leading practice: modelling, coaching and raising quality in your room
  • Running the room: routines, ratios, deployment and the daily rhythm
  • Leading people: motivation, delegation and difficult moments
  • Planning, assessment and accountability for your room’s children
  • Working with your manager and growing as a leader

On completion learners receive an NFAQ-accredited certificate as evidence for compliance and Ofsted.
