A note from Laura

“Built from a recent inspection, not more paperwork.”

I've been through inspection recently as a Reception teacher and EYFS lead. This session is everything I wish my team had heard beforehand: practical, real-world Reception practice, and how to talk about it.

Use it on your own, in a staff meeting or as virtual CPD. It's there to help you explain and strengthen the excellent practice already happening in your classroom.
