Inspiring Provision for Babies

Stronger Practice Hub Event

This session will explore inspiring provision for babies in an early years setting. We will explore the influence of educators’ visions and values on provision for babies and what real noticing looks like as a leader of a baby room. We will consider what builds to inspiring planning for babies’ learning, including reflecting upon possibility planning, building on previous experiences and building on babies’ funds of knowledge. The session will explore elements of provision such as creativity, being under the sky, environments, digging deeper into treasure baskets, sensory exploration, risk and challenge, and exploring food.

This session is for leaders of settings with babies, leaders of baby rooms or aspiring baby room leaders. It is open to any settings within our Stronger Practice Hub region.

This session will be delivered by Rachel Pirie and Cassie Holland.
