EYFS Continuous Provision: Building Skills and Play Behaviours — CPD Workshop | EYFS

A focused 30-minute professional development workshop exploring how children build skills and develop play behaviours through continuous provision. Led by an experienced Early Years teacher, this training supports practitioners to look more closely at what children are doing in provision — and to understand what it tells us about their learning, development and next steps.

Because when we understand play behaviours, we can respond to them with greater purpose and confidence.
