Access specialist support to ensure that your nursery classroom, curriculum & provision effectively meets the needs of the children in your early years
Research tells us that a child’s experience in the first 5 years of life underpins the trajectory of their future educational success. Therefore, it’s crucially important that this phase of care and education is well understood, carefully planned for and delivered to the highest quality, with an effective nursery classroom. The Government has shared plans for the expansion of nursery and 2-year-old provision, particularly school-based nurseries, so there is much to consider in ensuring that these children really do make the best start in their education.
Whether you already have nursery provision, or you are looking to expand, we’re here to support your development journey. From providing you with costings for an application for the Government Capital Grant and setting up a brand new provision, to developing and embedding effective practice and upskilling your team with the knowledge and skills to care for and educate your EYFS children, we’re here to help!
Arrange an initial free consultation call with our Head of School Services, Nikki Walters, to discuss your needs.
