EYFS Confidence Builder Session
2 Hours – Investment £150
Online or in person
It is not unusual for headteachers/senior teams to feel confident that their EYFS lead is delivering effective EYFS provision, yet their leader lacks confidence and the thought of an inspection is affecting their wellbeing every day. An unfortunate sign of the times and all too common.
This session has been developed to boost the confidence of the EYFS lead, a supportive session identifying strengths and what is working well for them. Enabling them to confidently
discuss the success of their EYFS team and the children in their care with Ofsted inspectors or stakeholders.
