He has spoken at National, Regional and International Conferences including Nursery World and the International Play Association.

He has written strategies for Local authorities and has written articles for several publications including Nursery World Magazine. His training has gained widespread acclaim for inspiring learners to improve outcomes for children and he has recently been seen on Channel 4 delivering sessions for children. Ben’s new book, A Very Unusual Journey into Play was published in April 2022.

All of our trainers are passionate, knowledgeable and actually work with children. They share Inspired Children’s commitment to improving outcomes for children through inspirational delivery and innovative approaches to training.

Inspired Children Training is unlike any other training available. Regardless of whether online or face-to-face sessions are entertaining and thought provoking with no “death by Powerpoint” or pointless filler sections. Each course is taught by the person who wrote that course and each trainer has extensive experience working with children. There are other good training companies out there but few, if any, can provide the rewarding training experience and inspirational delivery that are the cornerstones of every session delivered by Inspired Children.

Few can match the level of practical experience and innovative approach repeatedly demonstrated by Inspired Children. Frontline workers, parents, managers, senior Local Authority Officers, Lunchtime Supervisors, teachers and Headteachers have all been inspired, challenged and have improved their practice as a direct result of our training sessions and workshops.

Inspired Children has demonstrated incredible flexibility in addressing issues specific to each setting or organisation and tailoring and adapting training to meet individual needs. Consequently each session is a unique experience unlike any training experienced before. If you don’t see what you need in the training directory Inspired Children will create training to address exactly the issues you are concerned about.
