After two years the Nursery World Show is back — bringing together the early years community under one roof.
With a mix of CPD-certified sessions, free-to-attend workshops, visitor attractions and networking opportunities, it’s the perfect place to rediscover the magic of early years.
Best Practice Clinic
An exciting new visitor area this year is the Best Practice Clinic.
This has been developed in partnership with the ÎÞÂëÌìÌà as a response to the increasing challenges practitioners face in their roles and settings.
Over two days, sector experts will be on hand to provide support and advice on a wide range of issues.
There is no need to book an appointment, practitioners of all levels are welcome to drop-in for answers to any burning early years questions.
CPD-certified seminars
The show has plenty of high-quality CPD.
Friday masterclass — Supporting the communication and language needs of all children
Gain an understanding of the importance of communication and language for children’s holistic development and provide new ideas and approaches for building their skills in this area.
Led by educationalists including Dr Julian Grenier, Kerry Murphy, Penny Tassoni MBE and Anne-Marie Tassoni.
Friday afternoon masterclass — Under 3’s – Supporting Learning
Trainer Alice Sharp explores the rich and meaningful experiences that support the learning and developmental needs of the very young.
Seminars
Join Judith Twani, early years consultant and trainer, who combines theory and practical hands-on experience for two seminars:
- Role Play and Small World Play: From the Familiar to Fantasy explores the learning opportunities offered by role play and small world play. Discover how they support many aspects of children’s early development and understanding of their world. Gain a fresh perspective on how to resource and support these forms of play.
- Sand and Water Play: Make a Splash — revisit your core provision for sand and water play, indoors and outside, and discover rich and engaging ways to enhance these areas – particularly to maximise learning in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) areas of the curriculum.
NEW for Saturday — The Nursery World Debate: The Power of Play
Chaired by Nursery World editor in chief, Liz Roberts this seminar brings together a range of early years experts including Dr Pete King, Dr Stella Louis and Sarah Watkins to reflect on:
- the importance of play
- the play cycle
- the aspects of early years best practice that we need to value and protect under the revised EYFS to ensure children can enjoy the kind of rich play opportunities that enable them to explore and thrive.
Saturday afternoon — Positive Relationships: The Power of Love
Tamsin Grimmer’s seminar explores how forming deep connections with the children in your care affects their behaviour, leaves them feeling safe, secure and valued and empowers them to learn and achieve.
The show also has an exhibition, where you can discover, compare and source the latest products and attend sessions at the Live Theatre, all for free.
The Nursery World Show takes place on 29 and 30 April 2022 at the Business Design Centre in London.
