Every child deserves to feel safe, secure and cared for whilst they sleep. This reflective practice workbook supports practitioners to understand why safer sleep guidance exists, recognise when something is different and respond with confidence.

The workbook is designed to strengthen professional curiosity and understanding of safer sleep within the Early Years Foundation Stage, while supporting reflection on children’s individual needs, sleep routines and wellbeing.

It can be used individually or as part of team discussions, supervision or professional development, helping practitioners reflect on practice, identify risks, strengthen meaningful sleep checks and consider how small changes can improve children’s safety, welfare and wellbeing.
