When's the best time to start toilet training? It's different for every child. In this video from PACEY, childcare expert and PACEY President, Penny Tassoni, talks about the signs to watch out for and offers hints, tips and tricks to make this development stage a positive and stress-free experience for children, parents and childcare professionals.

The video is under 10 minutes long and will help you reflect on and improve your practice.

Reflecting on your practice

It is helpful to keep a CPD log recording what you have done, when you did it, why you did it, what you learnt, and the impact it has had on your work and the well-being, learning and development of the children in your care. Think about how you would explain the impact the CPD has had for you to a parent, a student, an inspector, or a visitor to your setting.  

Head over to CEY smart where you can find a free editable CPD log. 

Remember CPD is not just about attending a training course. It can be watching a video, like this one; visiting another setting, reading a relevant book, publication, or blog; attending a webinar; researching a relevant topic; taking part in discussions with peers or taking part in on line learning.
