Meet your Trainer: Cheryl Bedding

I am currently working with many nurseries and early years settings in a range of ways, including an ongoing relationship as their SEN consultant, sharing my passion, commitment and experiences from almost 30 years in the early years sector and as a parent of a neurodivergent child. I deliver webinars nationally and internationally, including in India, Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Jamaica, and this year have been asked to be a judge at NMT’s prestigious awards evening for the SEN category.

I would love to work with you to build on your existing delivery of quality SEN practice.

There is a real movement to empower all those who care for children who may present difference, to grow to be neurodivergent affirming educators and I would love to be able to support you and your team to become leaders within the movement.

My passion is to inform and enable acceptance of all our children no matter their strengths or areas of challenge. Difference is normal and we need to celebrate this, supporting all children to be themselves and become who they want to be, removing barriers and meeting them where they are.

I credit my two amazing young sons who show me everyday that life is for living and being who you truly are, in order to reach for the stars.

Cheryl has recently won 'Trainer of The Year'

at the Nursery World Awards 2022.
