The first Early Years Network of the new academic year is planned for Wednesday 27th September at Alver Valley Schools. 

The network is a forum for Early Years practitioners from around the Gosport area to meet and share good practice, with the goal of working collaboratively to develop our own settings and improve outcomes for children in our local area. Everyone is welcome.

Our next session Wednesday 27th September, 4.00pm-5.30pm will be a training session. We have the brilliant Jenni Done Speech and Language Therapist & Advanced Sensory Integration Practitioner from the Early Years Advisory Team leading a session on sensory integration and strategies to support children in Early Years settings.

This is going to be a really worthwhile training that we hope will be really helpful for settings to help us consider our environments and provision for all children and particularly those with sensory integration needs. Jenni recently spoke at the Early Years Headteachers briefings and was excellent.

Practitioners that work in Early Years settings in the Gosport and surrounding area can book a free place.

If you haven’t discovered it yet, do check out the Early Years Network page where you will find updates and the resources from our previous sessions.

We remain keen for practitioners to help us shape the direction of the network by telling us what you would be interested in exploring together, as well as the days and times that work best for you and your setting.
