THEY DID IT!! 🪂 The absolutely bonkers and brave quad jumped out an areoplane to raise as much money for Cash4Kids as possible!

Matthew, Ellie, Jennifer & Courtney raised £1800 which will be put towards helping disadvantaged children and young people in the community! 💚

🌐 Internet safety starts long before children can read or write.

Young children are using apps, watching videos and exploring digital technology every day. That means online safety is now an essential part of early years practice.

✅ Use technology with a clear learning purpose
✅ Support children through adult co-engagement
✅ Build simple digital safety habits through everyday conversations
✅ Check that apps and content are safe, age-appropriate and free from unnecessary risks

The latest guidance reminds us that technology should enhance children's learning, not replace meaningful interactions and experiences.

🚨 ALDI'S VIRAL WOODEN TOYS ARE BACK! 🧸

Every year, Aldi’s legendary wooden toy range flies off the shelves starting from just £3.99 - this year will be no exception!

At Eden, we always talk about why high-quality resources matter so much in early years. Open-ended play equipment is an absolute staple for setting up engaging environments that truly support child development. They’re brilliant for:

✨ Sparking imagination and role-play
🤝 Developing crucial social skills and communication
🧩 Supporting hands-on EYFS learning through play!

Curious about why play-based learning is such a game-changer for little learners?

🌟 Celebrating Our Early Years SENCOs 🌟

Today, we celebrate National SENCO Day! An opportunity to recognise the dedication, expertise, and compassion of Special Educational Needs Coordinators across the Early Years sector.

Their work often goes far beyond a job description. SENCOs champion inclusion, empower practitioners, challenge barriers, and help ensure that children with SEND can belong, participate, and thrive.

For practitioners and SENCOs looking to deepen their expertise around communication development, we also offer the Level 5 Early Years Speech, Language, and Communication Needs Specialist qualification:

Happy National SENCO Day! 🌈

A SPECIAL MILESTONE & A FOND FAREWELL 💛

As we celebrate a brilliant milestone for Early Insights, the Eden team is bidding a fond farewell to our wonderful host, Kathy Leatherbarrow, as she moves on to her next chapter.

While it’s goodbye to Kathy, it’s certainly not the end of the podcast — we have some incredible things lined up for future episodes, so keep your eyes peeled!

Here are a few words from Kathy on her latest episode:

"I couldn’t have wished for a better way to finish my journey…
🚀 2,500 STREAMS
👀 3,500 VIEWS
https://eden-ts.com/eden-podcasts/

I’m so grateful to everyone who has listened, watched, shared and supported the podcast. ❤️This is my last episode as I prepare to move on from Eden Training Solutions, into the next chapter of my career.

For this episode, we tackled a hugely important topic for the Early Years sector:

🛡️ The New EYFS Safeguarding Requirements – What Early Years Leaders Need to Know
https://youtu.be/qd9dIIex5qw

With the new safeguarding requirements in place from 1 September 2026, we look at what the changes mean for Early Years providers, leaders and safeguarding practice.

It feels very fitting that my final Early Insights conversation is centred around something I care so passionately about — keeping children safe, improving practice and supporting Early Years professionals to make a real difference.

When Early Insights began, I hoped it would create a space to share knowledge, experience and important conversations from across our sector. To finish with 2,500 streams and 3,500 views is something I’m incredibly proud of. 🥹

A huge THANK YOU to every listener, every guest, everyone who shared an episode and everyone who has been part of the Early Insights journey.

And a very special thank you to Eden Training Solutions for giving me the opportunity to create, host and develop the podcast. 💛

It’s a goodbye to the podcast, but definitely not goodbye to Early Years. 🌱"
