There will be time to reflect and ask questions. \nKnowle West Nursery School is the first Early Years setting in the country to achieve the ‘Trauma Informed Schools Award’. \n\n This training is for early years practitioners and leaders working in settings or childminders in our Stronger Practice Hub area (Bristol\, Bath and North East Somerset\, Swindon\, Wiltshire\, Somerset\, North Somerset\, Gloucestershire\, South Gloucestershire). We will also prioritise settings and childminders in areas of deprivation.

Together\, they bring a unique blend of expertise\, which you can read more about below. \nThis conference is for early years educators in maintained nursery schools and nursery classes in schools\, as well as Reception educators. It is for those interested in curriculum design\, assessment and movement-based approaches to early writing. \nThis training day is designed to challenge assumptions and interrogate widespread practices around early writing\, particularly in light of the recent DfE Writing Framework. Drawing on the latest evidence from wider ECEC experts and grounded in the latest research\, we’ll explore what truly supports children’s writing readiness\, not just at the table\, but from the ground up and with an awareness of how the transcriptional and the compositional effectively combine. \nExpect to leave with practical strategies\, greater clarity on developmental expectations\, and the confidence to advocate for approaches that honour how children grow\, move\, and learn. \nThe Bristol & Beyond Stronger Practice Hub and the South West Stronger Practice Hub bring you this conference for the whole of the south west region. \nIf you are based in Bristol & Beyond’s SPH local authority areas\, then you should register below. \nIf you are based in the South West SPH’s local authority areas\, then you should apply on their webpage. \nAbout the Trainers\n\n \n\n\nJan Dubiel\nInternationally recognised specialist in Early Years assessment and curriculum\, brings a deep understanding of policy\, pedagogy\, and how to translate developmental research into meaningful practice.\nLearn more here. \n\n \n\n\nHelen Battelley\nRenowned movement and physical development consultant\, offers specialist insight into how early movement\, sensory integration\, and gross motor development lay the foundation for confident\, capable writers.\nLearn more here. \n\n\nMore about the Course Aims & Learning Outcomes\nBy the end of the day\, participants will be able to: \n\nCritically interrogate the phrase “ready to write” as used in policy and classroom practice\, identifying assumed versus explicit developmental prerequisites.\nExplain the role of gross motor foundations (posture\, core stability\, shoulder girdle control) in enabling fine motor skill and sustainable mark-making.\nEvaluate common early-years approaches (e.g. worksheets) against developmental evidence and re-design tasks to support embodied learning.\nApply a motor-hierarchy (proximal → distal) framework to sequence teaching for transcriptional and compositional development.\nUnderstand the importance of the purpose and context of writing in terms of the compositional dimension\nEstablish the concept of a child’s ‘writer’s voice’ and how this needs to be facilitated in conjunction with the transcriptional dimension.\nProduce\, with guidance a step-by-step\, curriculum-aligned action plan\nDraw from a suite of strategies and approaches to support early writing in the EYFS\n\nTimetable and Session Structure\n09:30 – 9.45: SPH Welcome and Introduction\n09.45 – 10:05: Mapping current practices against the DfE Writing Framework and motor-skill indicators.\n10:05 – 10:30: Framing the problem: “Ready to Write” — what does it mean?

SCERTS stands for Social Communication\, Emotional Regulation\, and Transactional Support — and this session introduces the framework\, its development\, and its application in early years practice. With practical\, play-based examples\, the course shows how SCERTS can support children’s interactions\, emotional well-being\, and relationships. Practitioners will leave with a solid understanding of the approach and feel confident and excited to begin using it in their own settings. \nLearning aims: \n\nTo introduce the SCERTS (Social Communication\, Emotional Regulation\, and Transactional Support) framework and its relevance for early years settings.\nTo identify how SCERTS strategies can be used to support children’s communication\, relationships\, and emotional well-being.\nTo explore how SCERTS strategies can be applied in everyday practice through real examples from play and routine-based activities.\nTo feel confident and motivated to begin using SCERTS in your setting to support inclusive\, child-centred practice.\n\n\n This training is for early years practitioners and leaders working in settings or childminders in our Stronger Practice Hub area (Bristol\, Bath and North East Somerset\, Swindon\, Wiltshire\, Somerset\, North Somerset\, Gloucestershire\, South Gloucestershire). We will also prioritise settings and childminders in areas of deprivation. \n\nView Tickets\n\nOur SEND Network offers a series of informal\, online networking sessions designed for early years practitioners to come together\, share experiences\, and explore key topics related to SEND in early years settings.
