What to expect from the webinar
Our webinar will provide you with essential tips and strategies just in time for the new academic year. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:
Understanding your nursery’s culture
Whether you believe your provision has a defined culture or not, it’s there. Without active guidance, it will develop on its own. Learn how to take control and shape a culture that aligns with your vision and best practices.
Enhancing your early years curriculum
Feeling uncertain about your early years curriculum? You’re not alone. In our webinar, Jamie and Alison will provide clear, actionable guidance to help you bridge the crucial connection between leadership, management, and curriculum effectiveness, all while adhering to EYFS guidance.
This webinar will help you master your early years curriculum by:
Defining ‘curriculum’: allowing you to gain a clear understanding of what constitutes your curriculum and how to effectively communicate this to your team.
Ensuring team understanding: learn strategies to ensure that every team member comprehends and embraces the curriculum, fostering a cohesive approach to early education.
Aligning vision and values: Discover how to align your curriculum goals with your setting’s vision and values, ensuring consistency and a shared sense of purpose across your team.
Leadership and management
Effective leadership and management are at the heart of a successful nursery. Discover how to lead, mentor, coach, and role model to positively influence the culture of your provision.
Aligning with EYFS principles
The EYFS principles are non-negotiable values that should underpin your practice. Our webinar will cover how to integrate these principles seamlessly into your daily operations and ensure your culture remains aligned with them.
