Inspirational Insights 19th Edition

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

And the News is…

… still to come unfortunately – it’s been a slow month for news, politicians seem to be more focussed on Europe than Early Years – we haven’t even been informed about the new Childcare Minister, let alone had the EYFS 2016! We did take a look at the arrival of the new Tax Free Childcare and what you need to be doing to make sure you qualify. Read the full stories and stay up to date with everything else on our blog as usual.

Missed last month’s insights? Click here to catch up with our news roundup, including a look at the latest Ofsted and 30 hours information! We also took a look at cycling (I did quite a bit of it this month) and had the usual inspirations!

Inspiration of the Month

Zoe has been hard at work finding out everything that will inspire you again this month. I was a little bit too interested in Pluto Demoted Day if the truth be told, but if that doesn’t fill you with the same excitement then she has taken a good long look at the Olympics!

Competition!

No, not that sort of competition – due to the Olympics being this month, we have been discussing whether we thought competition was right for children. We didn’t form a conclusion in the office, as you can imagine – but we did agree that team sports were where the real benefit was.

Team sports are an excellent way to learn and develop skills, and if they work for the children, they almost certainly work for the adults too. So why not get your team together over the summer for a bit of healthy competition – and it doesn’t just have to be at a party, recently we have been involved in some fantastic team building/training days that were fantastic for developing that all important team moral!

If you fancy giving it a go, just get in touch.
