@ClaireCoutinho@educationgovuk Make the early years sector the real foundation for all children, fund it well, fund it now - early intervention + high quality EY is key. EY settings are currently self-funding SEND support, settings are closing every week. Lose us, schools suffer, children suffer. #CommonSense
@Earlychildhood Fantastic news! Let's hope that such valuable support for high quality Early Years learning brings the value of the EY, and thus the funding struggle, to the fore; we must fight to make social mobility a reality π#earlyyears
@Clarkevanessa@paulbradshaw@Paul_SDU It's wonderful that the long standing problem of SP/L delay is being discussed + that funding for training is available-BUT the gov need to address the EY funding deficit, EY settings provide skilled support, but training won't help us to retain skilled staff-more funding will!
@SpeechAndLangUK@BBCNews It's wonderful that the long standing problem of SP/L delay is being discussed + that funding for training is being provided-BUT, no amount of training can help EY settings retain staff-change the funding formulas, we'll retain staff, we'll change lives - simple π #earlyyears
@APPGearlyyears @BrineMP @Cherylhadland @katerhardy @NDNAtalk@ukonward @LeedsUniBSchool Just attended this APPG - interesting information + research - but it all boils down to one thing ...funding!! The sector is diverse, misunderstood and struggling-the sector needs to pull as one and make a stand
The funding crisis not just in state maintained schools - early years settings have been in a funding crisis for a long time and many nurseries will close if support is not given

Dandelion Dialogues: Supporting emotional regulation and communication.
At Dandelion, we encourage children to understand that we often feel more than one thing at a time. Even a three year old can tell you how they feel, and why they feel it! 1/4
Twenty-two cards feature 22 differing facial expressions, with the related emotion displayed in clear, dyslexia friendly text below. The reverse side of each card features a signed explanation and picture of the related emotion. 3/4
