Cause and Effect/Sustained Shared Thinking

Understanding cause and effect — and promoting sustained shared thinking — are both essential to high-quality early years practice. This interactive webinar explores how children learn through curiosity, experimentation, and conversation. We’ll look at how practitioners can create environments that encourage exploration, ask meaningful questions, and extend children’s thinking through genuine dialogue. Participants will gain practical strategies to recognise, scaffold, and deepen children’s understanding as they explore how their actions influence outcomes, helping to build confident, reflective learners.

Ideal for: Early years practitioners and teams looking to strengthen interaction quality, language development, and critical thinking in play.

Effective Leadership

Strong, reflective leadership creates the foundation for confident teams and thriving settings. This session focuses on the key principles of effective leadership — from communication and motivation to building trust and leading by example. We’ll explore practical ways to support staff development, foster collaboration, and maintain high standards of care and education. Participants will leave with clear strategies for leading with confidence, empowering their teams, and driving continuous improvement.

Ideal for: Room leaders, managers, and aspiring leaders who want to grow their leadership skills and strengthen team culture.

Encouraging curiosity through Schema Play

Schemas are the building blocks of children’s understanding — the repeated patterns of behaviour that help them make sense of the world. This insightful webinar explores how recognising and supporting schema play can nurture curiosity, creativity, and deeper learning. We’ll look at how practitioners can identify different schemas, plan environments that encourage exploration, and use open-ended resources to extend children’s thinking. By understanding the ‘why’ behind children’s play, educators can respond more effectively, creating meaningful learning opportunities that foster independence and imagination.

Ideal for: Early years practitioners and educators who want to develop a deeper understanding of children’s play patterns and promote curiosity-led learning.
