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.
