Signups to the EY Leadership NPQ are open. We tested the portal and it is possible for EY practitioners to sign up without a TRN via some additional steps. We've asked DfE to look into making the process clearer for those without a TRN and we will share instructions shortly.

📢 If anyone has feedback or questions about this application system please let us know. We are meeting with the DfE team to look at potential improvements for EY applicants.

The news is out! 🥳🥳We are SO excited to announce that PACEY members are now able to sign up to our free webinar with legendary author and poet Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 for an exclusive masterclass on 15 September 2022! ⭐ Registration is now open - pacey.org.uk/PACEY-Live

A little invitation we have set up for our member who enjoys cars. We made playdough before lunch together and while asleep I’ve set this up. It’s also an introduction to loose parts play. Playdough is an important ingredient to our setting and it is out daily #eyfs

🎶 it don’t mean a thing if you ain’t got that zing” 🎶 Lovely fresh lemon water play tray today with a magic tea pot 🤩 we have added some loose parts within the water for our members too as they enjoyed the hoops yesterday #sensoryplay #waterplay #childcare #childminding

🍄This is a shelf within the setting we regularly collect nature to bring it inside and dot about the tables and nooks. How do we teach children how to preserve nature if we do not expose them to it? #childcare #childminding #hayes #curiosityapproach #outdoor

We introduce phonics in so many ways, but we really enjoy these alpha pops, lower and upper case, can be used for phonic matching, colour sorting, pushing and pulling them apart #homebasedlearning #childminding #childcare #pacey #literacy

📚 We visit our local library weekly, it’s such a good habit to get the children into. They select a book of their choice and we borrow it for them to look at at the setting. We read stories whilst there and chitter chatter with the librarian #homebasedchildcare #childminding

There are many ways to introduce early literacy letters and sounds, a mini office set up today, coving many aspects of the areas of learning children need to follow. My own children thought this old keyboard was in their words “so old fashioned” 😳 #childminding #eyfs

PACEY has been working closely with Ofsted on its updated early years inspection handbook and guidance around inspections. This includes dedicated sections for childminding settings. pacey.org.uk/news-and-views…

Hidden right at the back of this low level book stand is this member’s current interest. She found it straight away. We have a range of books based on childrens interests. We like to pay attention to how they respond to the pictures and story as this helps us plan their next step

It’s important to make sure that the children in your care are staying safe in the sun. We’ve put together some top tips on how to keep children (and yourself) safe in the sun, including some activities which will help you stay safe AND cool! ⬇️ pacey.org.uk/news-and-views…
