As part of our Creative Classrooms CPD programme we are developing a new strand focusing on creative CPD opportunities and resources for early years practitioners.

Are you an early years teacher or practitioner? Have your say in our future CPD programme and take part in a unique creative early years training opportunity.

Let them Play! Focus group

It is our duty to prioritise play for our youngest children, who have missed out on so much as a direct result of the pandemic. In this short session, experienced music specialist Kate Maines-Beasley will share ideas about music and movement play in the early years, and how to use both to bring more joy into your classroom.

This will be followed by an opportunity for you to tell us about your current needs, children and priorities, and will be a springboard for our upcoming early years CPD programme.

Take time to:

● Energise and nurture your practice

● Connect with like-minded practitioners

● Learn how to better support children’s music and movement play

● Tell us what you’d like to see in our three part early years CPD series in Spring 2022

Book quickly, as there are limited places.This will be an online focus group session delivered via Zoom. Where possible, participants are required to take part with cameras on, ready to contribute ideas and responses. We need to hear from you, so that we can ensure that the creative CPD we are planning meets your needs and those of the children in your care.

Booking information - data collectionOn our booking page, we collect certain information from delegates for event communication, impact tracking and to be able to tailor our sessions/wider programme to the needs of our audience. We won't pass on any contact details to third parties or use your email address for anything else other than information specific to the event you've signed up for unless you also register for any of our other programmes, or join our mailing list. Finally, we are funded by Arts Council England, so we use the information about the name of your organisation and its address to track who we have been working with, so that we are able to report back on use of funds effectively, and also adapt our future planning to ensure we are reaching as wide an audience as possible.
