When working with a large staff team it’s important to prioritise and value team bonding and wellbeing. Happy team = engaged and motivated team 🙌 #earlyyears
Very productive inservice day 🤩. Lots of rich discussion around self evaluation, new and updated guidance and we incorporated and prioritised staff wellbeing into our day. A team walk and team bonding lunch to support and promote workplace wellness

It has been lovely listening to our parents, carers and children in what’s important to them when recruiting a new member of the team 🙌 #earlyyears#recruitment#teamkirkstyle
Our Parents, Carers and Children have been describing what qualities they would like our new Early Years Practitioner to have. We invite "caring" "kind" "happy" and "fun" practitioners to apply to join our fabulous dynamic early years team #TeamKirkstyle@SLCEarlyLearn
Behaviour is communication and communication is everything. A young person can't always verbally communicate what is wrong,or how they're feeling, but their behaviour never lies.They do not consciously plan to come into school and misbehave.🧠🌱
Very informative SLC Inclusion Conference today with an agenda based around Equality and Equity. Great to hear about the training and documentation available to support and enhance practitioners knowledge around attachment-informed, trauma-sensitive practice too 🙌 #earlyyears
Thank you for your kind words, I have been privileged to work alongside a fabulous team. It’s been an honour to be part of the @airthnursery journey, especially with the support of the wonderful community. I will miss our children and families but look forward to a new chapter ☺️
Our next podcast episode is now live! This week we are talking about why children’s human rights matter and how UNCRC has influenced Education Scotland's work in supporting quality and improvement in learning and teaching. https://t.co/6Nk8f1jY8c
I’m in awe of all the fabulous initiatives introduced following the inservice training our team embarked on 🤩. Our children have been engaged in clay experiences, learning new rhymes and songs through YMI opportunities as well as the introduction of Airth’s little cooks club 👨🍳
We introduced clay in nursery today. The children were so engaged, making their own creations using different resources. Fine motor skills were developed through squeezing, rolling, cutting and manipulating the clay. “Look at my spider, it’s got a hat on.” #engaged@airthprimary
