SUMMARY:Unpicking the STAIRS Approach: Communication\, Language and Literacy Network
DESCRIPTION:Stronger Practice Hub Event \nCome and find out more about the STAIRS approach that provides educators a memorable and straightforward set of strategies to embed research evidence about scaffolding into everyday practice. It employs the ‘Goldilocks principle’: not too much and not too little\, enabling educators to provide a level of challenge for children that is ‘just right’. \nScaffolding is one of the most important interactions that promotes learning\, and this strategy will help all practitioners to become successful scaffolders. \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\nThis network is an opportunity for practitioners to come together and consider how we support children’s communication\, language and literacy through an evidence-informed approach. It is for anyone working in EYs and offers 45 minutes of learning more about an approach with a follow-up reflective discussion about how this might work in your setting or school. \n\n	\n		\n\n			\n			\n\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n	\n		\n		\n		\n		\n	\n\n\n	Notice\n							\n					There are no upcoming events.

SUMMARY:Physical Development - Gross Motor Skills to PE With Helen Battelley
DESCRIPTION:Stronger Practice Hub Event \nAs early years educators\, we are at the forefront of building strong physical foundations that support not just movement\, but confidence\, coordination\, and a lifelong love of being active. \nIn this session\, we’ll explore how early physical development naturally progresses into more structured physical education\, supporting fundamental movement skills. We’ll look at key movement milestones\, developmental readiness\, and how to create purposeful movement transitions from play-based physical activity to more formal PE in the early years and beyond. \nYou’ll leave with practical strategies\, activity ideas\, and a deeper understanding of how to support every child’s movement journey—from crawling and climbing to catching and kicking. \nLet’s jump in and get moving! \nAbout this Series\nWelcome to our comprehensive professional development series focused on Physical Development (PD) in the Early Years\, designed to support educators\, leaders\, and practitioners in building confident\, evidence-informed practice aligned with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Development Matters. \nThis series brings together research\, theory\, and hands-on strategies across key areas of early movement\, play\, and pedagogy. Whether you engage in one session or the full series\, this training is designed to deepen your understanding\, strengthen your provision\, and equip you with the tools to deliver meaningful\, movement-rich experiences that support every child’s development from babies and infants to reception children. \nPlease Note: The webinar will be recorded and available online afterwards. \nThe session will involve a 30-minute networking/discussion session\, during which participants are encouraged to discuss their learning\, what they have put into practice\, successes\, and challenges as we build this learning community. The network section of this event will not be recorded. \nView Tickets\n\nSessions in this Series\n\n	\n		\n\n			\n			\n\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n	\n		\n		\n		\n		\n	\n\n\n	Notice\n							\n					There are no upcoming events.				\n					\n	\n\n					\n	\n\n\n\nHelen Battelley is an internationally renowned consultant\, trainer\, author and speaker in Physical activity/movement in Early and Primary Education with an MA in Early Childhood Physical Activity. The movement philosophy Helen promotes is to embed movement within the curriculum and framework to enable a movement philosophy. Young children learn through movement\, and early years practice must adopt an approach which is accessible to all. Learn more about Helen here. \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 hope you will leave feeling inspired and with tangible actions you can take. \nPlease Note: This session is part of what will be regular termly PSED regional networking sessions.

SUMMARY:Tuning in to Babies
DESCRIPTION:Stronger Practice Hub Event \nThese sessions will explore educators’ role in tuning in to babies\, reflecting upon listening to their voice\, supporting co-regulation and tuning in during the settling period. We will consider the key person’s role in deeply tuning in to babies’ identities\, making links with babies’ experiences outside of the setting. The sessions will explore the barriers to tuning in to babies’ parents and carers. The sessions will support educators in building a toolbox of strategies to tune in to babies\, such as serve and return\, schemas\, and sensory development. Finally\, the sessions will reflect upon how babies learn\, how they plan for their unique children\, and the role of the enabling environment. These sessions work best when educators have already attended Getting it Right for Babies and Talking with Babies but it can be done as a standalone. \nPlease note: This is a two-part event on Tuesday\, July 15th\, 2025\, and Tuesday\, July 29th\, 2025\, from 6:15 pm to 8:15 pm. Attendees are required to attend both events.  \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.
