@EarlyYearsErica Oh my lord!

@JuneOSullivan @juliangrenier @EYAlliance @EY_Matters There are, but not in Hartcliffe. Just us and our friends at The Gatehouse Nursery (PVI). MNS are part of the great Early Years team, but we may not exist after July 2020, so do excuse us mouthing off for a little while, whilst we try & convince the powers for a stay of execution

@HartcliffeNSCC Guys, there are many jewels in the social mobility crown but unless we are all jewels in the crown we will not sparkle #earlyyears @juliangrenier @EYAlliance @EY_Matters

Maintained Nursery Schools, such as Hartcliffe Nursery Schools are the ‘jewel in the social mobility crown’ and must be saved! We have 1 year to make it clear to the government and #saveourmaintainednurseryschools suttontrust.com/newsarchive/ma…

@JuneOSullivan @HartcliffeNSCC @EYAlliance @EY_Matters Agree that there’s much to celebrate across all sectors in #earlyyears - but currently it’s only maintained nursery schools that have no funding guaranteed beyond July 2020.

Our friends at Illminster Avenue Nursery School have been seeing what it would be like to have a nursery without any toys! What do you think? bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-eng…

Productive inset day today; spent the morning evaluating the classrooms & considering how they support chldrn develop speech and language. Afternoon we joined up with Knowle West Children’s Centre & Illminster Nursery School to discuss how we observe chldrn & agree judgements

Don’t forget that we have an inset day tomorrow and the nursery is closed to all children. We’ll see you all again on Tuesday.

A headteacher: "In 24 years of education, I have not seen poverty like this. Children are coming to school hungry, dirty and without the basics to set them up for life. The gap between the haves & have-nots is rising and is stark." @BBCNews #ascl2019 buff.ly/2JeNYCS

Reflecting on why we complicate EY assessment so much, letting it take us away from what’s important. Lots to think about after conference today and love the ‘invisible moment of possibility’ @JanDubielEEX #FirmFoundations @SadlerZoen @Sue_Cowley

@thepetitioner Are you doing it again next year? #firmfoundations #NextTime

Lots of questions and interaction at @ERIC_UK Parent/Carer Workshop. Thanks to @WellspectHC for your support #constipation #healthybladders #healthybowels #bowelhealth #bladderhealth #bedwetting #wee #poo

‘Children are coming to school hungry, dirty and without the basics to set them up for life. The gap between those that have and those that do not is rising and is stark.’ These really are sad and desperate times for many children. We need to mend this. theguardian.com/education/2019…

@gainsnurserysch @APPG_Nursery It was a wonderful event. We are stronger together.

Gainsborough headteacher marched to Downing Street to fight for the future of nursery school funding gainsboroughstandard.co.uk/news/gainsboro…

Today at John Perry we are dressing up in red and raising money for comic relief by having a bake sale. #rednoseday2019 #nursery

Handy tip!
