About Us
Having spent time working with a range of settings including early years and schools, we are aware of the critical factors that support children's learning and, in particular, their enjoyment and achievement. The adult role in initiating and supporting creative opportunities is essential and our aim is to make tangible links between professional development and practical application. We also recognise the role of parents and carers as a priority in the successful outcomes for a child or young person and we develop ways in which we can work together wherever possible
Our aims include
Develop Opportunities for Creativity:
Actively reflecting upon and improving current and new practice through the introduction of new and exciting ways of working
Encourage Enquiry & Challenge:
Developing and exploring existing practices and solutions through constructive and dynamic questioning
Address Key Issues:
Continuous improvement to make the links with current educational priorities and policy changes
Work Together:
Collaboration of positive partnerships
Verity Elliott
I have worked within education and children's services for over 18 years and have established a well respected understanding of the needs of children, young people, practitioners, parents, schools and other providers. The importance of the quality of the relationship between adult providers and carers alongside a creative approach has inspired my belief in how we can make a difference for children and young people
My initial training in early years which I later extended to post 16 teaching along with a range of roles linked to service provision have provided me with the opportunity to take the best from a wealth of different experiences and approaches including planning and delivering projects and designing engaging and motivational training and development.
