@JuneOSullivan@juliangrenier@EYAlliance@EY_Matters There are, but not in Hartcliffe. Just us and our friends at The Gatehouse Nursery (PVI). MNS are part of the great Early Years team, but we may not exist after July 2020, so do excuse us mouthing off for a little while, whilst we try & convince the powers for a stay of execution
Maintained Nursery Schools, such as Hartcliffe Nursery Schools are the ‘jewel in the social mobility crown’ and must be saved! We have 1 year to make it clear to the government and #saveourmaintainednurseryschools https://t.co/O9Do2ZYlSQ

Productive inset day today; spent the morning evaluating the classrooms & considering how they support chldrn develop speech and language. Afternoon we joined up with Knowle West Children’s Centre & Illminster Nursery School to discuss how we observe chldrn & agree judgements
A headteacher: "In 24 years of education, I have not seen poverty like this. Children are coming to school hungry, dirty and without the basics to set them up for life. The gap between the haves & have-nots is rising and is stark." @BBCNews#ascl2019 https://t.co/B1bfoMGaSY
Reflecting on why we complicate EY assessment so much, letting it take us away from what’s important. Lots to think about after conference today and love the ‘invisible moment of possibility’ @JanDubielEEX #FirmFoundations@SadlerZoen@Sue_Cowley
‘Children are coming to school hungry, dirty and without the basics to set them up for life. The gap between those that have and those that do not is rising and is stark.’
These really are sad and desperate times for many children. We need to mend this. https://t.co/2IlS4l1Dtc
