I'm Kym Scott, early childhood consultant, conference speaker and trainer

I work nationally and internationally; providing consultancy, training, workshops and keynote speeches on a number of subjects related to early childhood education and care.

I'm especially passionate about the impact that quality relationships, interactions, environments and play experiences can have on children's learning and life chances.

These elements feature heavily in my online CPD site The Place To Learn, where my courses and webinars can be accessed on-demand by whole staff teams or individuals, for one annual fee.

Is your early years team feeling a little at sea during these challenging times?

  •  Are you more convinced than ever that our youngest learners need a compassionate, play based teaching approach, but the current conditions are making that hard to deliver? 
     
  •  Would staff benefit from the guidance of a trusted consultant who can help them provide superb learning for children through play, real experiences and quality interactions?

  •  Would you love to bring an established and highly experienced national early years expert in to deliver CPD to your whole team, but know that’s not possible right now?

  •  Would your staff jump at the chance of having unlimited access to an entire suite of early years courses that have been having impact in schools and nursery settings for years?
       

If any of the above ring true then THE PLACE TO LEARN might be just what you need.

What others think of The Place To Learn

Emily O'Boyle, Reception teacher, Oakwood EYs Unit, Co-op Academy Oakwood, Leeds 

"Firstly, I love Kym's engaging and enthusiastic tone and manner. She immediately gained my attention, which is something I struggle with when learning online. Her passion is displayed throughout the clips, which gets me, as an adult, excited to learn!

The real life examples are incredibly helpful as I can implement them into my own practice rather than having to think 'how can I make this work for me?'

The information given is current and well researched. The guest appearances and research shared from others are amazing as Kym's statements are immediately backed up by other reliable sources."

 

Sarah Gaughan, Leader of Learning and Strategic Development, Bangkok Patana School

"Our team LOVE the training and how accessible it is with less jargon and more real examples (English is a second language for most of them).

Most of all they love your personality and how you are so real and down to earth!  You really should be very proud of the work you have put into this.  It is almost as if you were in the room with us!"

 

John Green,  Head of School, Rowdown Primary School, Croydon

"Beautifully created, highly professional, and provides a ton of information presented in a really captivating way. You have managed to achieve that tricky balance between creating sessions that inform and upskill both those at senior leadership level like myself, but also those working directly in the classroom. Fantastic value for money too!"

 

Erika Lopez, Marsh Hill Nursery School, Birmingham

“It is my first course and module with you and I LOVED IT! Easy to understand with fantastically edited videos and very useful links as well. I can´t wait to start the next module. Many thanks Kym."

 

Rebecca Sanderson, Head of Early Years, West Hill Special School, Leatherhead

"The online training really is incredible and so engaging. The feedback has been really positive and staff across the school have found it so helpful and relevant, even in our KS2 classes."

 

Emma Donegan, Teaching Assistant, Bishops Down Primary School, Kent

“This is the most enjoyable online training I have done. Kym delivers the course in a very engaging way and the content itself is so interesting. I am enjoying all of the different modules and can already feel how this learning has impacted my practice and built on my skills.”

About Me

 

 

 

I am an established conference speaker, trainer and consultant in the field of early years education. I've spent the last 20 years working in partnership with schools and settings in a variety of circumstances, both in the UK and overseas. and have a proven track record of helping leaders to raise the quality of their early years provision and improve outcomes for children.

As well as supporting at leadership level, I spend a significant proportion of my time working directly in classrooms and nurseries. This is key to ensuring that I retain a deep understanding of the reality and challenges of working with young children, and this work also provides me with numerous real examples to draw upon in my training.

 

Join thousands of happy clients and learn from my three decades of experience

Joanne Henson, Kirklees Learning Partner – Early Years, Kirklees Local Authority

"Kym produced some amazing online training materials for us. The quality of the training was fantastic, a brilliant balance of theory and practical ideas. The online version was just as effective as a face to face session but with added benefit of pausing the video for reflection and invaluable discussion with colleagues – something we rarely get to do!  Already bursting with ideas and inspiration!”

 

Peter Lindley, Reception Teacher, Raintree International School, Bangkok

“The wonderful 'Place to Learn' site has been a brilliant platform to further enhance my early years professional knowledge. Carefully looking at different aspects of practice, it has allowed our early years team to learn, reflect and improve our provision. Learning alongside Kym, at our own pace, either in school or when isolating at home, has proven to be invaluable!"

 

Satveer Rathour, Teaching Assistant,  Co-op Academy Oakwood, Leeds

“Loved the up to date videos, short seminars but throughly packed with vital information. Sessions are always engaging and fun  - they always show the full potential of Kym's enthusiasm in them!"
