CPD and bitesize training for on the go

We want every child to experience high quality childcare and early education, and we support our members in providing this with an extensive collection of training courses and resources. Tailored to our members needs.

Whether you’re short of time or need to complete compulsory courses, PACEY has everything you need all under one roof.

CEY smart: PACEY’s free CPD and bitesize training 

CEY smart is PACEY’s online training, offering short, 10-20 minute courses that can be done on any device, at any time. It also provides practical help and expert advice to practitioners working throughout England and Wales.

With 9 themes and over 65 courses in England and 51 courses in Wales, we have an incredible amount of resource that is FREE for our members. You can sample one of our courses here.

“I love how quick & easy the courses are to follow, they’re great for refreshing your knowledge, getting a taste of new topics & picking up new ideas/strategies without having to sit through hours of content. I love that if I have a spare half hour I can easily fit in some CPD”

Discounted Food safety and hygiene training

Do you prepare food in your childcare setting? Are you looking to complete a food hygiene qualification? If so, this Level 2 food hygiene course, accredited by the Royal Society of Public Health (RSPH), will give you all of the guidance you need. Practitioner members receive a substantial discount on our Food safety and hygiene training course.

Discounted first aid training

Here at PACEY we have a real understanding of the situations you’re likely to experience as a childminder or when you’re working in a nursery or as a nanny. We work with our providers to ensure that the course covers the specific paediatric first aid training that childcarers like you need, relating back to real-life situations.

PACEY has partnered with Tigerlily First Aid Training to offer our England members discounted first aid training. The 12 hour course combines one day of tutor-led training with six hours interactive e-learning and is available at training centres across the country or in-house for larger groups.

For those practicing in Wales, PACEY Cymru advise contacting your local authority childcare team to enquire about First Aid training available in your area and possible funding.

Hundreds of Business and practice resources at your fingertips 

We have a online library full of childcare and early years resources in the MyPACEY Resource Hub for you and the families you support, including key transitions and home-learning. FREE for you as a PACEY member.
