What if the first 1000 days was where your organisation made its biggest difference?

We help you build consistent, excellent under two practice across every setting using the science of early development and play - so babies thrive and the adults who care for them do too!

What this looks like in practice

It’s a bit of a no-brainer, really. It raises the quality of what’s happening within your nursery. It gives you that partnership with parents which is always difficult to get. And it’s training that’s there constantly without the constraints of trying to train people.
— Louise Monange, Director of Nursery Operations, The Den Nursery Group

Most early years training tells educators what to do. It rarely helps them understand why.

When adults genuinely understand what's happening in the first 1000 days - how babies' brains are built, tiny moment by tiny moment - their practice changes. Because when they understand, they can't unsee what they've been shown.

And that's what makes the understanding permanent.

Oliiki translates the science of the first 1000 days into something every educator, every parent-facing professional, every family support worker, and every family can use to change babies' outcomes.

Ways to work with Oliiki:

  • When every nursery in your area is working from the same framework, everything changes. Area managers visit with a shared language. Settings know what good looks like. And when a setting is struggling, you can see exactly why.

    The Building Babies' Brains programme gives your nurseries a consistent system for under-twos practice - so quality stops depending on who's in the room, and starts being built into how every setting runs. There's a leadership layer too, for the managers and leads who need to sustain it. Want to know more, book a call with Clare

  • Clare speaks at national and regional early years events, leadership days and sector conferences. Her talks connect the science of early brain development to the everyday reality of nursery life - in a way that's immediately recognisable to anyone who's ever stood in a baby room doorway and known something wasn't quite right.

    Recent engagements include Nursery World Big Day Out, Calderdale Baby Week and NDNA Conference

  • If you work with babies and families - as a charity, a Family Hub, a community organisation or a sector partner - Oliiki gives the people around those babies a completely different understanding of what the first 1000 days are really doing.

    Let’s have a chat

  • Oliiki works alongside apprenticeship providers to embed first 1000 days understanding into early years workforce development - so apprentices arrive in baby rooms already thinking and practising differently about what they're seeing and why it matters.

Everything we do is grounded in science, made simple, and designed for excellence in everyday early years life.

Honestly one of the best in-person trainings I have ever attended. I left feeling motivated, confident and proud of the work we do.

Julie Robinson - Eagley School House Nursery

“We use Oliiki not just to help our parents understand the brain science of the first 1000 days, but also to help our staff development.”

Tina Knight - Wells House Nursery

“Ofsted were very impressed. I love the added bonus of specific under-two training that comes with it. It ties in with the early years neuroscience beautifully.”
