Communicating with babies and young children

This self-assessment helps you think about your confidence in communicating with babies and young children. It is for early years practitioners at foundation level. It links to good early years practice and the Early Years Foundation Stage where relevant. It does not confirm competence. It does not replace training, supervision, observation, employer checks, professional judgement or local policy. If you rate yourself low, review the learning, practise safely in your role, and discuss one development step in supervision.
