  • Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan and Eunice Lumsden
    2024/11/21

    There is a lot of concern about recently qualified staff who appear to find adjusting to the workplace a challenge and seem to have emerged with degrees which are low quality. As an employer of nearly 1000 staff, that is an issue, because my job isn’t simply to recruit staff but to succession plan ( and I don’t mean that in a Brian Cox sort of way!).
    Therefore, these concerns which I am hearing about from many quarters are of concern. But are these facts or rumours and setting out self -fulfilling prophesies? Is it just university ranking snobbery?

    So, I asked Professor Eunice Lumsden, from the University of Northampton who heads up the Childhood Youth and Families Department and is responsible for a whole suite of degrees from undergraduate to postgraduate, that cover a raft of subjects including early childhood studies, education, social work to working with children.

    Listen to find out what this means for us as employers and university and college teachers!

  • Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan, Barbara Crowther and Jaynaide Powis
    2024/11/13

    It seems strange that in 2024 parents feel the need to lead a campaign about healthy food, but with the help of the Children’s Food Campaign at Sustain, that’s exactly what they are doing. Indeed, they managed to get to meet members of parliament to share their manifesto with them.

    In this podcast I speak to Barbara Crowther, Children’s Food Campaign Manager at Sustain and parent ambassador Jaynaide Powis about their comprehensive polling of over 2,000 parents conducted by Savanta and the Children’s Food Campaign which has helped determine the biggest challenges faced by parents in the current food system and their top priorities for change.

    Listen as we explore topical questions such as:

    1. Is it time to stop our snacking culture?
    2. Do we need to go back to the days when we all learned to cook in the home economics class at school
    3. Should nurseries have free nursery food and should all chefs be trained with credible Chef qualification such as our degree from the Early Years Chef Academy ?
    4. Do we need statutory food guidance for nurseries and childminders?
    5. Should Ofsted be inspecting food in nurseries and childminders?
    6. What further policies are needed to support them.

  • Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan and Ofsted (Wendy Ratcliff & Sam Sleeman-Boss)
    2024/10/23

    Getting into your Ofsted Groove!

    In this podcast I talk to Wendy Ratcliff and Sam Sleeman-Boss from Ofsted about the Big Listen, refreshed handbooks, new complaints procedure and the research review series and how they are feeling about the Ofsted Academy and the future of Ofsted. While there are some things they cannot answer yet, like how will Ofsted reshape, I am holding them to the promise of a research report on babies especially with the expansion of childcare to include little babies of 9-months-old.

    The conclusion of the conversation confirms that we need to continue with our OBC to keep engaged with our regulator so we have a voice in what is often a national debate that only focuses on Ofsted in schools.

    The next London OBC is 31st of October, get your ticket here:

    Listen to this to help you get into the Ofsted groove.
