  • This is a must!!

    This is fantastic!! Every episode feels like you’re sitting in on a really interesting conversation with people who actually know their stuff. Shána is super engaging, and she somehow manages to make even the most complex topics feel totally approachable — like chatting with a really clever friend over coffee :)

  • EYFS Rocks♥️

    I absolutely love this podcast! I actually get quiet excited the day before a new one comes out. I’ve been working in early years for 11 years and I’ve learnt so much listening to these podcast. I’ve also laughed a lot on my way into school and back from school. Loving the mini series EYFs around the world. Thank you EYFS Twinkl♥️

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 133: The Montessori Mindset
Q: Why is independence such a big part of the Montessori way?
Gibson says independence communicates adults' trust in children's potential and helps them develop responsibility and new skills.
Episode 133: The Montessori Mindset
Q: What practical things can early years practitioners bring into their classroom environment to be more Montessori?
Gibson recommends focusing on practical life skills, self-help and independence, making resources accessible, and allowing children to practise everyday tasks such as putting on shoes, hanging bags and tidying.
Episode 130: Screens in the Early Years
Q: What would you consider to be examples of real high quality purposeful screen time within an earlier setting?
Wass suggests using technology with a question or goal in mind, rather than passively watching whatever appears. He emphasizes keeping the child in control of what they are trying to find out.
Episode 130: Screens in the Early Years
Q: Thinking about that evidence of screen time for our youngest children, if you had to summarize the evidence in one or two key messages for parents and for educators, what would it be?
Wass says adults should consider the type of content, not only screen-time totals. Young children learn better from slow-paced, predictable material than from fast-paced, unpredictable content, which may be harder for them to process.
Episode 132: Protecting Play: Understanding Reception in a Changing System
Q: If you could implement three policy changes tomorrow, what would they be?
Lloyd highlights extending access to the 15-hour entitlement so all children can benefit from suitable provision, and improving pay, employment conditions and career structures in the largely private, voluntary and independent early years sector. She stresses that improving provision requires adequate long-term funding.
