‘We were joined by practitioners who shared their experiences of working with play pedagogy in today’s early years settings, framed by EIS guidance and support. Their presentation videos and links to further resources are available below.
So, whether you were unable to join us at the webinar, or if you are visiting to refresh your memory of the evening, we hope you find the resource round up useful, and you are able to join us for the third webinar late in November.’
