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.
The Place To Learn
I'm really excited to share that my most frequently requested courses are now available online as part of my new subscription-based online professional development centre The Place To Learn.
As a member of The Place To Learn, you will get unlimited access to all of my on-demand courses, virtual resources and exclusive interviews.
These can be viewed on a range of devices to support continuing professional development either alone or as part of a group; in the setting, at home, or on the go!
Consultancy Support
For the first time ever, I am now available for virtual consultancy and coaching sessions, as well as the usual in-person visits.
Training
In-person and online training. Professional development that really makes a difference
Here's what leaders have said about my work:
Su Yay-Walker, Headteacher, Burlington Infant and Nursery School, New Malden
“We are thrilled with the progress we have made as a result of your work at our school. Your clear guidance and practical suggestions have made a significant impact to the teaching and learning across our EYFS and we are proud to have achieved a steady rise in attainment as a result. After every visit, you leave our staff feeling enthused and inspired and we cannot thank you enough for supporting us to move our provision on.”
Dr Neil Hopkin FRSA, Executive Principal, Fortes Education, United Arab Emirates
"Quite simply, your coaching of us all has been truly expert and we have benefitted enormously. You instinctively knew what I was trying to achieve for my team and you have challenged and moved practice on, whilst also leaving everyone feeling empowered, informed and secure."
Jared Nolan, Head of Primary, British International School Puxi, Shanghai
"In Kym Scott, we found a consultant that matches our ambitions for the children at our school. Through close work with our leaders and teaching team, she helped us identify priorities, build confidence and knowledge in our practitioners and develop a plan for the future of EYFS that meets the needs and aspirations of our families. It is great to work with a consultant who is so passionate about what they do and so impact driven."
