EYFS Updates and Moderation
I will be holding my face-to-face EYFS update and moderation sessions again this year. These sessions are always popular as they provide the opportunity to meet other practitioners in person and hear the latest news, share good practice and moderate judgements. There will a lot to discuss at the first meeting including the new EYFS Statutory Framework updates and the new Ofsted framework. These sessions are suitable for both Nursery and Reception staff

​Feedback from a delegate:
I just wanted to say what a breath of fresh air this afternoon was- Frank discussions and sharing ideas were brilliant and welcomed in a safe space of no judgement.
Thank you for highlighting new reports and giving us opportunities to network as well. I feel a lot more confident with my judgements and practice.
