SUMMARY:How to Write Meaningful Observations
DESCRIPTION:How to Write Meaningful Observations\nMany practitioners tell us that observation\, assessment\, and planning can feel overwhelming — especially when there’s pressure to record learning rather than truly understand it. \nThis online practice clinic\, led by highly experienced nursery practitioners\, is designed to help you slow down\, think deeply\, and make sense of what you notice in children’s play and everyday activity. \nRather than focusing on formats or paperwork\, we’ll work together to explore how thoughtful observation can meaningfully inform teaching and practice.

SUMMARY:Baby Room Network - Planning for the youngest children
DESCRIPTION:Baby Room Network: Planning for Children’s Learning \nIn our next Baby Room Network\, we’ll be focusing on planning — thinking about how we plan for children’s learning in ways that are meaningful\, responsive and rooted in relationships. \nWe’ll explore what it means to start with the child — tuning into their interests\, motivations and ways of being — and how this can shape child-led approaches to planning. Together\, we’ll reflect on how everyday moments\, interactions and observations can inform thoughtful\, flexible planning that supports babies’ learning and development. \nThis session will provide space to share practice\, discuss approaches\, and consider how planning can remain dynamic\, responsive and truly centred on the child. \nFree to attend | Open to all baby room professionals

SUMMARY:Webinar: Early Writing in the EYFS
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this practical and reflective webinar exploring the foundations of early writing in the EYFS. Drawing on research\, developmental understanding and real examples from practice\, this session will consider why writing is far more than pencil and paper — and why physical development\, movement\, relationships and enabling environments matter so deeply. \nThrough discussion\, reflection and examples from practice\, this webinar aims to support practitioners in thinking differently about how children move into writing — building strong foundations that support confidence\, engagement and long-term success.
