Mentoring for early learning and childcare

This eBook will help your implement a mentoring programme in your early learning and childcare service. This book has been adapted from “Guidance for Mentoring in Childhood Practice (2010) by the Coalition of Childhood Umbrella Organisations. 


You will find additional resources on our Step into Leadership website and more information about mentoring in “Mentoring: Supporting  and Promoting Professional Development and Learning” (2014).


The mentoring book is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Every organisation and the staff who work in it are different. However, there are elements which are common to all successful programmes. The content of this book focuses on these common elements.
