Support that goes above and beyond, right through to EPA!

A huge congratulations to Kelly C on completing her apprenticeship!

When nerves kicked in during her End Point Assessment, the guidance she received brought her right back on track.

Meet Cally, one of our brilliant tutors πŸ‘‹

Cally started mentoring while working in a nursery and knew straight away she wanted to become a tutor. Parenta was her first choice.

Now a qualified Early Years Teacher, she supports learners from Level 2 to Level 5, and her message is simple: if something's on your mind, tell her, and you'll sort it together.

They can't sit still on the carpet. They tire quickly. Some struggle to cross their legs or hold a pencil.

After 30+ years working with young children, trainer Battelley has noticed something worrying, and it isn't a discipline problem. It's a movement problem.

In her latest piece, Helen explains why physical development underpins language, focus and learning, and what settings can do to give children back the movement they need.

An autistic child who doesn't say "please" isn't being rude. They're communicating directly, and that's a difference worth understanding, not correcting.

In the latest instalment of her series for Parenta, Dr Jo Grace () explores why autistic children are so often misread as rude, and what compassion rather than correction looks like in practice.

Good news for settings watching their recruitment budget.

From 1 October 2026, non-levy employers hiring a 16–24-year-old apprentice can claim a new Β£2,000 hiring incentive. It sits on top of 100% training funding, which now covers all apprentices aged 16–24. Your apprentice must have started with you on or after 1 July 2026.

Our latest article explains what's changed under the 2026/27 apprenticeship funding rules and what it means for your setting.

"Every child processes the world differently - our job is to notice how."

Sensory specialist Dr Joanna Grace continues her series this month, with a gentle, knowledgeable look at how sensory processing shapes the way children learn, communicate and feel safe.

It's a warm, practical read for anyone wanting to understand the children in their care a little bit better.

Only 2 to 3% of the people working in early years in England are men. Harry Wren is one of them, and his career says a lot about why that needs to change.

He went from running his own nursery to training the next generation of early years apprentices, proving this is anything but a dead-end job. Real progression, real impact, and a genuinely rewarding career if you know where to look.
