Adult Interactions in Provision — CPD Workshop | EYFS and KS1

A focused 30-minute professional development workshop exploring the role of the adult within continuous provision. Led by an experienced Early Years teacher, this training supports practitioners to understand what high-quality adult interactions look like in play-based settings — and how to put that understanding into practice every day.

Because knowing what to do is only half the picture. Knowing how to interact, when to step in and what to say is where the real impact happens.
