Feedback from this training:

'The EYFS progression course has proven to be a transformative experience for staff members, particularly those without a specialised background in early years education such as myself. The course's effectiveness lies in its ability to demystify the small steps of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, providing a comprehensive understanding of how it unfolds and progresses. It was very helpful when planning our own curriculum'   BC. headteacher, St James Primary School, Hereford

Very well structured making the links between the EYFS curriculum and the National Curriculum very clear for every single subject area, as well as giving many fantastic ideas for developing and enhancing the curriculum further. I highly recommend this course for not just early years leads, but also for all early years staff and everyone involved in curriculum planning throughout the school’  JF. Hagley Primary School Worcestershire
