Child Brain Development: How to Nurture Healthy Minds from the Start

Date & Time: Wednesday 29th April, 12:30pm – 1:00pm

The first five years are a crucial period of growth, with 90% of brain development happening during this time. This free, expert-led webinar will help you understand how your child’s brain develops, why early experiences matter, and how to build strong foundations from the start.

Our Early Childhood Specialist, Melanie, will introduce a simple “house” model of the brain, showing how emotional foundations, thinking skills and connections develop from birth to age five.

Nursery Manager Amelia will share how this shapes daily practice at Bright Horizons, from building secure relationships to creating play-based, age-appropriate environments that support emotional, social and cognitive development.

You’ll also gain practical ideas to use at home, including ways to support emotional development, strengthen connections and make the most of everyday moments. We’ll answer your questions throughout, so you can leave feeling informed, reassured and confident in supporting your child’s development.
