Certificate in Understanding and Implementing Cultural Capital

Ofsted defines cultural capital as ‘the essential knowledge that children need to prepare them for their future success’. The quality of education in settings is judged by how effectively practitioners are able to embed cultural capital into their curriculum. Practitioners in nurseries therefore need to recognise and enhance the cultural capital that children need to stimulate their learning experiences and sense of wonder for the world they live in. 

Developed by Leanne Galloway, this course will provide nursery managers and practitioners with the knowledge and skills required to implement cultural capital in a nursery setting by valuing the culture of children and their families to give them the best possible start to their early education. 

Please note: This course consists of learning through video, task completion and further reading/research. Please consider this when planning and allocating your time. To successfully understand and achieve the objectives of the course, learners are expected to engage in all aspects of the learning process to ensure they can successfully apply the knowledge and skills they have gained in their own nursery.
