We can provide early years coaching and mentoring for those working in the sector who are looking for an expert to provide timely input and support. Coaching is the tried and tested way to set new goals, make positive changes, and help keep you on track to achieve your goals both personally and professionally.
The Education Endowment Foundation (2023) identifies “a period of coaching from an expert or mentor to support educators or leaders within an early years setting” as an example of professional development (Guide to Effective Professional Development in the Early Years, p6) which offers social support and high quality professional conversations, both of which can make professional development effective.Â
Find more information about what coaching and mentoring can do for you by looking at our coaches and mentors, and exploring the different packages we offer. If you’d like to discuss further, please do not hesitate to get in touch.Â
