  • 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 123: Supporting Emotional Wellbeing with Jo Morton-Brown
Q: How can leaders in early years settings help sustain staff wellbeing while meeting targets and Ofsted expectations?
Lead with humanity, model listening and care, keep lines of communication open, reduce unnecessary workload where possible, and emphasize a culture that values staff wellbeing as a core outcome rather than an afterthought.
Episode 121: Delegating Tasks and Talking to Parents
Q: What are effective ways to talk to parents at pick-up/drop-off?
Have a plan but stay flexible, use notes to track child-specific details, and introduce a designated staff member to reassure parents during handovers.
Episode 121: Delegating Tasks and Talking to Parents
Q: How should water stations be organized for different age groups?
Create a central, clearly labeled water station with accessible containers, ensure cups or bottles are named to prevent mix-ups, and adapt the setup based on whether the room has babies, toddlers, or preschoolers.
Episode 121: Delegating Tasks and Talking to Parents
Q: What things should be delegated when you're a room leader?
Delegate tasks by matching them to staff strengths, start with smaller items, and gradually expand as trainees gain confidence, while maintaining overall responsibility as the lead.
Episode 119: Oracy in Early Years
Q: What would be your top tips, your call to actions for us?
Align what you already do with the shared language of oracy, ensuring staff can relate existing practices to oracy across physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social-emotional domains, and involve leaders in recognizing and supporting early years' expertise so oracy remains a central strategic priority.
