A Brief guide to working in the EYFS: Support sessions for Early Career Teachers and those new to working in the EYFS
This course, is made up of six short sessions, with the first one free to all. It is designed specifically into fit around the busy lives of those starting their first year of teaching. It will also be useful for those who aren’t ECTs but are new to working with young children in nurseries and schools and those who want a refresher.
It won’t give the full depth of training that an ECT needs but instead will give short bursts of inspiration and an opportunity to reflect on which areas more intensive CPD is required in.
Here's what is in each session:
- Session 1: (FREE TASTER SESSION) A brief guide to settling in – how to create relationships and routines that impact on children’s wellbeing, learning and externalised behaviour.
- Session 2: A brief guide to child-initiated versus adult-led learning - getting the balance right.
- Session 3: A brief guide to observational assessment – what to look for, how to capture it and how to use it to impact on learning.
- Session 4: A brief guide to responsive teaching - moving learning forward in play.
- Session 5: A brief guide to developing a challenging learning environment indoors and out.
- Session 6: A brief guide to planning playful literacy and mathematics experiences.

About Me
33 years ago I started work as a pre-school assistant in Norfolk and went on to teach and lead in London schools. I worked as an early years advisor for Lewisham local authority in London and went on to strategically lead the service. I now work nationally and internationally as a trainer, conference speaker and consultant.
I’ve spent the majority of my career working with leaders and managers in schools and settings, providing them with the support and challenge needed to effectively lead and sustain improvements in play-based learning.
As well as supporting at local authority and leadership level, I spend a significant proportion of my time working directly with practitioners in schools, day-care and pre-schools. This hands-on, current experience is key to ensuring that I retain a deep understanding of the reality, challenges and rewards of working with young children and their families. My work involves sharing what I have learnt about play and the difference it can make to children’s outcomes, and helping schools and settings to ensure that children are enabled to learn in as joyful, inspiring and memorable ways as possible.
In response to Covid, I created an EYS online professional learning platform called ‘The Place to Learn’. This is a subscription-based service which provides excellent value, on demand access to my entire collection of training courses for whole teams. Specific modules or whole courses are also now available to purchase separately for both individuals and teams.
