Why We Believe in Training & CPD
At Solus Deus – Specialist Early Years Recruitment & Training, we believe that training and continuous professional development (CPD) are the foundations of excellence in early years.
The early years sector is constantly evolving — new research, new policies, and new challenges mean that standing still is not an option. CPD ensures that practitioners don’t just keep up, but continue to grow in confidence, skills, and purpose.
For us, training isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about:
Empowerment – giving staff the tools and knowledge they need to thrive.
Confidence – enabling practitioners to feel prepared, supported, and capable.
Consistency – building stronger teams with shared understanding and values.
Impact – ensuring children benefit from the very best care and education.
When we invest in people, retention improves, practice strengthens, and children flourish.
That’s why our mission is simple:
Recruit with Intention. Train with Purpose.
