Instagram perfection VS reality, continuous provision part 2 and 'good enough is perfect'.
Frustrated with the pressure to create Pinterest-worthy learning environments on a shoestring budget? Overwhelmed by the onslaught of Insta-perfect classrooms that make your setting feel inadequate? Join us as we vent about the unrealistic standards set by social media, and how this constant comparison affects our work in the early learning profession. This episode is a judgment-free zone where we champion authenticity over aesthetics and share how you can make the most of what you've got, even if it's not picture perfect.
We delve into the practical side of things too, discussing how to maximize the use of classroom furniture for accessibility and functionality, and how you can find or repurpose inexpensive resources for engaging learning areas. Are you short on space? We've got solutions for that too, with tips on using wheels and pack and plays to navigate limited room. We also discuss the power of labelling and the innovative use of shadowing to help keep things tidy. Towards the end we share a mindful moment about the power of mantras. So take a deep breath, let go of the unrealistic expectations, and join us for a candid conversation about what truly matters in early learning.

Unravelling the Art of Early Years Routines
How do we ensure children in their early years thrive in a structured environment? Join Sarah and Steph as we navigate the importance of routines in early years settings. We'll reveal how these routines not only help children but also support adults. We dive into our personal anecdotes about how routines have been our saviour in tough situations like the end of the half term and school photos. There's a lot to consider when creating a routine, from the needs of the year group to staff collaboration - and we're here to help you figure it out!
We highlight the value of a soft start to the day, how to conduct skill-based sessions, and the art of managing transitions. We also emphasise the power of repetition and perseverance. But there's more! We'll discuss staff modelling, the use of sign language, and a friendly debate around snack time. Hear our insights on how snack time can be utilised as a tool for building maths skills, especially for children with SEN. We promise you, it's not just about the snacks! As we wrap up, you'll get a sneak peek into our next chapter focused on mindful moments. So, tune in and let's get routine-wise together.
