When Niruthiga Yogarajah attended her first staff meeting as a newly appointed London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) nursery deputy manager, she asked colleagues to complete a questionnaire about themselves. ‘Everyone learns differently – some are practical, some learn from instructions, others need one-to-one help,’ she says. ‘They really liked it – they found out how they learned themselves, and how we could help each other’.
Ms Yogarajah learned the technique on an Institute of Leadership and Management Level 3 course. A tutor delivered the training in-house as part of LEYF’s Inspiring Leaders Programme. It runs the course twice a year.
Last year she joined about 20 other trainees on the course, which was delivered over six day-long sessions held every fortnight at LEYF’s head office.
