Description
How to excel in the EYFS is a new high impact course, which takes an in-depth look at all the best practice elements that contribute to a setting excelling following the new Bold Beginnings and Strong Foundations in the First Years.
It will enable delegates to fully understand what makes a highly effective EYFS and what strong and effective leadership in the Early Years Foundation Stage should look like. It will look in detail at the new Ofsted expectations for EYFS and fully prepare you for the new inspections starting in September.
Principally the course is about developing outstanding EYFS practice to benefit and improve the children’s learning and development. This is achieved by delegates learning about the very best EYFS practice and research, and empowering delegates to take this knowledge back to school to support EYFS teams in meeting their full potential.
