These new sets follow The Four Principles of the EYFS, the Prime Areas of Learning and the Specific Areas of Learning released earlier this year.

A New Vision for Outdoors

In this set of three videos, early childhood landscape designer and Nursery World author Julie Mountain leads you through the process of improving your outdoor provision.

Julie gives a step-by-step guide to developing your outdoor area in Evaluating your Outdoor Provision, Identifying Opportunities for Change, and Making and Managing Changes, with suggestions for reflection and discussion, and tasks to carry out in between each video session. You’ll also have access to a pack of resources to support you, including audit sheets.

Julie will be speaking at Nursery World's Outdoor Play conference on 23 November www.outdoorplayconference.com/home


The Characteristics of Effective Teaching and Learning

In this set of three 30-minute videos, consultant, trainer and author Penny Tassoni examines each of the Characteristics – Playing and Exploring, Active Learning, and Creating and Thinking Critically.

Penny considers the focus on the role of the adult in the revised EYFS framework and shows how the characteristics can help you reflect on the needs of individual children and also on your provision.


Our EYFS Essentials videos are presented by leading early years experts, who provide information and advice, accessible for all practitioners.

Ideal for staff training sessions and individual CPD, the videos will build up into a great resource for working with the revised EYFS curriculum which came into force in September 2021.

Each Essentials series can be purchased individually or all five (with a combined total of 9 hours of training) are available at a special discount.
