EY Network Event

Be part of something new and exciting this May as we launch our brand-new Reception Network

Calling all Reception teachers, EYFS Leads & teaching assistants in Northamptonshire!

This is your chance to connect with like-minded Early Years professionals, share effective practice, and spark fresh ideas. From encouraging early writing to embracing muddy outdoor learning, to creating engaging provision—every conversation is welcome.

Join us for coffee and take a look around the exceptional Early Years environment at Pineham Barns Primary School. Recently celebrating an exemplary Ofsted inspection outcome, the school’s Early Years provision was judged ‘exceptional’ under the new framework.

This rare and prestigious judgement reflects practice of the highest national standard—something from which other schools can learn. Inspectors highlighted Early Years as a standout strength, noting that “every child thrives from the moment they arrive.” High-quality transition arrangements, including home visits and strong partnerships with families, ensure children settle quickly and that staff understand their needs with precision.

Come and see this exceptional practice in action:

• Meet and collaborate with fellow Early Years colleagues
• Share ideas, experiences, and inspiration
• Explore a setting where children truly flourish

Whether you're looking for inspiration or simply a friendly space to connect, this network is for you.

We’d love to see you there—come along and be part of the journey.
