Fascination and involvement are essential for this generation of children! Alice Sharp at #NWOBC23

@AliceSharpLtd tells us we are now working with generation Alpha! The science tells us that before they turn 7 they have lived more of their life in virtual reality than reality. We need to compete with the virtual world. Play needs to be spectacular! #NWOBC23

Some great points here.

Pennie Akehurst from Early Years Fundamentals takes the stage to talk to us about The Characteristics of Effective Provision. #NWOBC23
