What the experts say

SOUND Foundations is a high-quality modular training course which provides nursery staff with a comprehensive system of theory and practical strategies for stimulating, developing and managing pre-school children in the nursery setting. The underpinning model is totally child-centred and is based on genuine respect for the young child as a learner.

Dr Richard C Woolfson - Child Psychologist (Writer & Broadcaster)

A child-centred approach shines through the whole course. Time and time again, I found myself wishing that all childcare and early education training was like this - based on children and how they naturally develop and learn.
