Have a listen here.

I wonder if anyone has done a 'Learning Walk'? I have read several articles on this subject and they vary considerably. We have an Area EY advisor who is due to visit us for the purpose offing taken on one of these walks. Any input would be gratefully received but especially if you have done one and received feedback (good, bad or indifferent!)

I desperately need some training for a staff member on COEL. I have noticed that when an observation is done she is just ticking random boxes and a lot of them are not relevant which makes me think she needs a deeper understanding of them. Can anyone recommend any training that I can suggest to her.

Hello all, I'm getting a bit overwhelmed with planning. Just wondering how you manage all of the paperwork for planning, there are so many different kinds which ones do you use and how do you do this. Some examples would be useful. 🙃 🙃Long term planning, short term planning, weekly planning, in the moment planning, continuous provision planning, activity planning, schema plans plus many many more

Hello, A girl in my Nursery class keeps saying "I love you Mr Ed." My stock response is "I love having you in my class". We have a good relationship and she is a very confident, high functioning child. She always gives me a big cuddle each morning and is always happy to come to school. She is not from a single parent family, but for work reasons, the family do have two homes. Dad stays in the second home most of the time, but both mum and child go there each weekend. Any advice on this?

After the government's announcement yesterday of another Lockdown, any tips on how to structure the teaching day for remote/online learning of Reception class? I only started teaching Reception in September so I've had to get used to a lot of the EYFS way of working (previously taught Y5). My mind is a whirl - any help from anyone would be useful. 😬

I just wanted to highlight a Coffee Break item that Stephen wrote in September about going back to basics and using our knowledge of child development as our starting point as we support each child. January seemed like a good moment to focus again on going back to basics!
