Continuous Professional Development
Continuous professional development (CPD) is an essential part of early years practice.
It’s how you stay updated and informed about changes; it’s how you do your job better.
In this series of guides, Childcare.co.uk aims to support providers who want to engage with regular opportunities for professional development.
There will be a new CPD guide every month in 2026.
There is a short reflection sheet which you might find useful in the introductory guide.
