Providing support services to local authorities, schools and early years
Professional, Postive and Passionate
Schools, early years providers, and local authorities are all facing new challenges, responsibilities, and financial constraints
Every school and setting has its own needs and priorities.
Our strength is in our policy of listening to discover yours, working with you to provide a relevant, cost effective service with agreed outcomes.
Whether you need just a couple of hours support or a package lasting a year we would be delighted to hear from you.
Our advisers have a wide range of skills and practical experience of working with early years providers, schools and colleges. These include operational management roles within local authorities and health services.
Resources
We have developed a range of resources to support our work and provide reports for monitoring outputs and outcomes, including: online surveys, provision audits, training and evaluation databases, engagement spreadsheets, online booking systems and a resource bank of guidance and data documents.
