Nathan has worked in early childhood education for twenty years. A trained early childhood and Primary Montessori teacher, he has worked across the public, private and voluntary sectors both in and with schools and settings, for a local authority, and with two national early years organisations. In addition to practice as a Montessori teacher he has worked on programme management, funding, policy development, communications and grant capture. Nathan is also an associate tutor and lecturer in Higher Education. He completed the MA in Early Childhood Education and a doctorate at the University of Sheffield. Nathan works nationally offering workshops and consultancy support to schools and settings including bespoke packages of advice and guidance.
A range of research support to settings and schools is on offer. From family surveys to stakeholder consultation, small-scale action research to large programme evaluation, a bespoke consultancy input can be delivered depending on the research you would like to undertake or the support you may require to facilitate the project.Â
This consultancy support includes implementation of policy at school/setting level including changes to governance arrangements, place planning and implementation of the extended entitlement. At local authority level, consultancy can include a review of early years provision, production of guidance/resources and bespoke service delivery support. We are happy to discuss how we might look to support you within your professional context depending on your needs.
Having experience of securing funding though local and national charities and foundations, Big Lottery, Arts Council, Heritage Lottery Fund and EU programmes for education projects, the consultant can support schools and settings with grant research and bid writing from small scale projects to capital programmes. To discuss a potential application and the support you may need, please get in touch to talk through the options available.
A bespoke package of advice and guidance ranging from an audit and signposting to intensive consultancy, this flexible programme supports schools and settings to implement actions from the ‘Sustainability Jigsaw’ to support ongoing viability. We will look to tailor a package to suit your needs, appropriate to your context, so that you receive the necessary support to put into action.
