Inspirational Insights 14th Edition

Welcome to Inspirational Insights – The monthly modicum of meanderings from MBK Training.

Continued Professional Discussions

So with targeted CPD becoming a more prominent part of Ofsted inspections, we were excited to take part in two discussions this month. The LED event in Birmingham gave us some interesting information about funding, Ofsted, ratios and quite a bit more!

We were also lucky enough to attend a professional development event at Little Learners Nursery that was a fantastic source of inspiration. These type of events let us pull together as an industry – something that is going to get more important with the coming changes!

To read more on any of these stories and to stay up to date with news as it happens, then take a look at our blog.

Inspiration of the Month

Aside from the rather obvious approach of Easter, March has a lot to offer in terms of ideas and inspiration. Zoe rounds it all up here, all the way from Pi to Shakespeare.

Bridging the Funding Gap?

The amount of money being lost on funded hours is bigger than ever before and only looks set to get bigger. Increases to minimum wage, pensions, 30 funded hours; everything looks set to make it very difficult indeed to make ends meet in Early Years.

It is time to take back control of your own pricing and we are here to help. With our in depth understanding of the local authority agreements, we believe that all settings can still charge the amount they need to. In many cases the amount they need to survive. Interested? Click here.
