You care about getting it right.
Sometimes you need a little clarity.
Early years is full of decisions. This pack gives you learning to work through and practical guides to return to when those decisions come up.
“What does the EYFS actually mean?”
Build your understanding of the framework and recognise the learning already happening around you.
“I’ve observed it. What comes next?”
Think through what an observation tells you and how you might respond meaningfully.
“What do I do—and what do I say?”
Explore practical ways to support children through behaviour and big emotions.
Learning that connects with your working day.
The Early Years Survival Guide brings the wider picture together. Three focused mini courses help you explore key areas of everyday practice in more detail. All four are included in your £25 purchase.
The Early Years Survival Guide
A foundation for the everyday realities of early years.
Bring your learning together and reflect on the decisions, expectations and challenges that come with working in early years.
How this fits into the pack
A starting point for practitioners who want clearer, more practical guidance.
EYFS Without the Jargon
Make the framework make sense.
Explore the EYFS in accessible language, connect it with everyday practice and build your understanding of the areas of learning and how children learn.
How this fits into the pack
Supported by the Seven Areas, COEL, Statutory or Not and EYFS at a Glance guides.
Observation and Next Steps
Know what to do with what you notice.
Explore the connection between observation, assessment and your response. Look at meaningful next steps and why every observation does not need a new planned activity.
How this fits into the pack
Supported by the Observation, Assessment and Next Steps Guide and Decision Tree Guide.
Behaviour and Big Emotions
Find a calmer way through difficult moments.
Explore how to support children through big emotions and challenging moments, with practical language and responses you can reflect on and use in your setting.
How this fits into the pack
Supported by the Biting, Hitting and Pushing Guide and Behaviour Script Bank.
Something useful to come back to.
Keep them digitally, print them for reference, or revisit them alongside the courses. Each resource supports a practical part of your early years work.
These are previews of the actual resources. The body text is blurred here; the resources you receive are fully readable.
Seven Areas of Learning Guide
Recognise the seven areas of learning in everyday experiences, with a reference you can revisit when planning or reflecting.
COEL Reference Guide
Look beyond what children are doing to how they are learning: exploring, keeping on trying and developing their own ideas.
Statutory or Not?
Untangle what the EYFS requires from familiar nursery routines and assumptions.
EYFS at a Glance
A practical overview to help you find your way around the framework.
Observation, Assessment and Next Steps Guide
Work through observe, understand, respond and review, with examples of meaningful assessment.
Early Years Decision Tree Guide
Use a practical decision-making guide to consider whether an observation needs a next step and how to respond.
Biting, Hitting and Pushing Guide
Support your response in the moment, the words you use and your reflection on repeated incidents.
Early Years Behaviour Script Bank
Practical wording to draw on when children need calm, clear support.
Built from experience in early years.
I’m Liam. My background includes working as a practitioner, room leader, deputy manager and nursery manager, before moving into early years coaching and training.
I created this pack to make useful learning easier to understand and easier to connect with the situations practitioners face every day.
Whether you’re finding your feet, refreshing your knowledge or reflecting on your practice, you can start with the part that matters most to you.
The downloads give you practical references to return to.
Together, they help you bring the learning into your everyday practice.
Everything in one pack. £25.
