Parents Meeting

In this episode, we’re talking about learning through play , the heart of our Early Years ethos.

We explore how children learn, develop and make sense of the world through play, and why giving children the time, space and freedom to explore is so important.

From building friendships and developing language to problem-solving, creativity and physical skills, we’ll look at how much learning is happening when children are simply… playing!

From moving room to room and settling into a new environment, to tidy-up time, mealtimes and switching between activities, we’re chatting all about transitions throughout the nursery day. We explore why they can be tricky for children and share simple, practical ways to make them calmer, smoother and more positive for everyone.

Welcome to Parents Meeting, a podcast created to bring parents and early years professionals together for honest, helpful and relatable conversations about young children.

In this short introductory episode, we introduce who we are, why we created Parents Meeting and what you can expect from future episodes. From sleep and toilet training to child development, behaviour, learning and everyday parenting experiences, we’ll be exploring the topics that matter most to families.

Whether you’re a parent, carer or simply interested in understanding young children a little better, we hope Parents Meeting gives you practical ideas, reassurance and a place to start meaningful conversations.

Because little learners inspire big conversations.
