PEAL training
The Parents, Early Years and Learning (PEAL) project is
funded by the Department for Education and managed jointly by the
National Children's Bureau and Parenting UK.
Core partners are the National Childminding Association, the
National Day Nurseries Association and the Pre-school Learning
Alliance.
The PEAL project is all about helping practitioners work with
parents to help them support their children's learning. The project
has a particular focus on working with parents in disadvantaged
areas. Childminders work closely with parents and are able to
support them on a daily basis.
Qualifications
The PEAL training course forms part of the City & Guilds
Level 3 "Working with Parents" award. Participants can gain either
an award or a certificate for the full unit (the certificate is the
higher level). PEAL unit 16 is called "Working with parents to
involve them in their children's early learning" which comprises
three out of the seven units needed for the award. Details of the
award, but not the certificate, are currently on the City and
Guilds website.
You can see examples of good practice as well as a childminders'
activity booklet and find out more about the PEAL project at
