How can early years practitioners use Tiny Happy People?
December 6, 2022
Tiny Happy People is a BBC website full of advice and activities that is useful for early years practitioners, both for use in settings and for sharing with parents and colleagues. They cover a range of topics linked to children’s development from 0-4, with a specific focus on children’s pre-literacy skills and language learning, ideal for school readiness.
Across the Tiny Happy People site, you’ll find videos modelling best practice for different activities, which are all sorted by age group. These are all evidence-based and have been quality-checked by panels of professionals including speech and language therapists.
They have lots of accessible advice on children’s speech and language development that you might find useful for planning activities and spotting any potential issues to flag.
They also offer parents and practitioners knowledge of how simple play and chat benefits children’s development, which you may like to introduce to parents at children’s 2 year checks.
