Please follow, I will be sharing everything Early Years, education and parenting.

I’m delighted to welcome back Gill Jones and Wendy Ratcliff from Ofsted to record this special Early Years Leaders Podcast, in partnership with Blossom Educational.

We discuss the new Education Inspection Framework, with a focus on Ofsted’s rationale for the term cultural capital and what inspectors will be looking for in practice. Gill and Wendy give an overview of intent, implementation and impact. The new framework places emphasis on observation and discussion with educators and Gill and Wendy share examples of what inspectors will focus on.

I enjoyed doing a question and answer session with DadblogUK, on my career path and discussing the Early Years sector. Please click on the link to read.

It was an honour to welcome visitors from Sweden today.  I lead a session with them on self-evaluation and reflective practice and I’m looking forward to working with them again soon.

It was an honour to speak at the Children’s Media Forum and to talk about how my picture books, Jo-Jo and Gran-Gran, are being developed into a BBC children’s TV show.

It was a pleasure to attend the reception at the St Lucian Embassy in London following the investiture of Michael Chastanet, who received his knighthood from HRH Prince of Wales. The reception was held in the presence of the High Commissioner of St Lucia, Mr Guy Myers, and Sir Michael’s son, prime minster of St. Lucia, Allen Chastanet.
