What we offer:
Consultancy
We provide short and long term consultancy to a range of clients including Local Authorities, school collaboratives, primary schools, infant schools, charities, PVI settings, children’s centres, governors and many other groups.
Getting to know your needs through listening to you, we work with leaders and managers to develop high quality in early years policy, practice and pedagogy. This may take no more than a couple of hours initially and any on-going support can be planned from there.
-
We also offer a range of innovative approaches to support schools and settings to prepare for Inspections and to drive rapid change for those wishing to improve the quality of their provision and their OFSTED rating.
Early Years Adviser
Are you a Head Teacher or leader? We provide professional support to you by becoming your independent early years adviser. To get the best from your team you need to be fully informed about what works in practice in the EYFS.
Meeting your needs
