Our masterclass sessions zero in on the most impactful challenges facing managers today – and give you the knowledge and the tools to meet them head on:
The Manager...Who Looks After Me?
You’re the beating heart of the setting, but who looks after you? Are you struggling to breathe in a situation where only you can truly understand the pressures you are under? In this session we will give you tools to recognise your triggers, improve your wellbeing and empower you to shape your day so you can really get to the bottom of that never-ending to do list!
EY Newsdesk: Embrace the Now and Be Prepared for the Future
If there’s one thing constant in the Early Years, it’s change. But it’s a rare manager indeed who has the time to read, absorb and understand what the constant transformation means for your setting now and in future. Fear not! We hold your hands through 2024's EYFS changes, the expected new HMCI focus and a looming general election. Fasten your seatbelts, this may be a bumpy ride!
The Early Years Surgery
Welcome to our Doctor’s Surgery, where managers and leaders can bring your problems and we can discuss, diagnose and prescribe the ultimate remedies! With an open forum and no subject off-limits, this session builds trust and lasting bonds as well as solving problems. No matter what challenges you’re facing, we’ve seen and overcome them. You’re never alone in the Surgery - and you might just make Early Years friends for life!
People Management Bootcamp
Management of your team is vital to effective leadership of your setting. This practical, pragmatic and highly interactive session is founded upon psychology and behavioural science and will give you the opportunity to be introduced to proven new line management techniques and to trial them within a safe environment. This is the toolbox you need to lead a happy, motivated staff team!
Building Your EY Dream Team
Providing outstanding care and education relies on motivated and talented individuals meshing together to form an outstanding team.
In this session, we will explore the dynamics of team building, including working with different personalities and the life cycle of the team. These insights will help you to understand each team member and coach harmonious team collaboration.
Promoting Professional Development
Continuous development is one of the keys not only to high-performing practitioners, but also happy and fulfilled ones. In this session we will explore a variety of approaches to promoting your team’s professional development, from effective training to measuring performance to promoting mental health and resilience.
We also are delighted and very fortunate to have a keynote presentation from our event sponsor, Claire Bean of North Yorkshire HR Solutions! Claire has over 30 years’ experience of working in the HR industry across various sectors including Childcare. She is a straight talking, no bluffing HR expert who can provide pragmatic solutions to all your people issues.
