Join us at Nursery World North for support with the revised EYFS

If you're feeling unsure about what the revised Early Years Foundation Stage will involve, then join us at Nursery World North in Manchester and let top early years experts bring you up to date on the proposed changes.
Nursery World North, to be held at EventCity on 7 and 8 October, will be offering a seminar programme designed to guide you through the new framework and offer advice on early years practice.

Kicking off the programme will be early years consultant Ann Langston. Involved in the EYFS Review while working for the National Strategies team, Ann is ideally placed to give an overview of the new framework and what it means for you and your practice.

Over the course of the show, there will be seminars on each of proposed Prime Areas: personal, social and emotional development; communication and language; and physical development. Here, our experts will explain the importance of these ‘subject’ areas to young children’s learning and development and give advice on how to plan for these areas of learning across the curriculum.

As well as running the seminar on communication and language, early years consultant and author Penny Tassoni (right) will be explaining how to support children’s mathematical development, now a ‘specific area’ under the new curriculum.

Early years consultant Jennie Lindon will be delivering the seminar on PSED and, later on Saturday, will be running a seminar looking at effective strategies for dealing with ‘problem’ child behaviour.

Alice Sharp, another of our popular speakers, will be returning to talk about engaging parents in their children’s learning and supporting under-threes’ learning, both areas to be given top priority under Government family policies and the revised EYFS.

Child protection has emerged as an area of real concern to Government in the course of the EYFS Review, so in her seminar, Ann Norburn, training and development consultant, NSPCC National Training Centre, will be outlining early years practitioners’ roles and responsibilities in safeguarding the children in their care.

Finally, Jan Dubiel will deliver a seminar on ‘Enabling Environments: how to help boys achieve’. Formerly with the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency (QCDA), Jan is now national development manager for Early Excellence Training and Resource Centre in Huddersfield.

Nursery World North is the only show dedicated to the early years and will have a wide variety of exhibitors from resources and training companies to ICT and outdoor specialists.
