Some of your strongest future leaders may already be in your setting.

✨ The practitioner who stays calm when the room gets busy.
🌱 The apprentice who is growing in confidence with every shift.
🤝 The team member who supports others without being asked.

In a nursery, those small everyday moments matter.

With the right support, those team members can grow into confident room leaders, deputies and managers.

At WMC Training, we help nurseries develop talent from within through specialist Early Years apprenticeships and structured progression support.

Food refusal is common in early years, but how we respond can shape a child’s confidence around food.

In this clip, Catherine Lippe from Nursery Kitchen shares her 3 top tips:

🥕 Keep offering foods through repeated exposure
🌱 Use positive role modelling at mealtimes
💬 Take the pressure off and focus on the child, not the clean plate

Small, consistent changes can help create calmer, more positive mealtime experiences.

Food refusal can make nursery mealtimes feel challenging.

In this clip, Catherine Lippe, Head of Nutrition and Policy at Nursery Kitchen, explains why food refusal is so common around 18 months to 2 years.

What may look like “fussy eating” can actually be a normal stage of development, known as food neophobia.

For nursery teams, understanding the reason behind food refusal is the first step to supporting children with confidence. 🌱
