Consultancy Days
 

Consultancy days allow us to work together to look at practices and work out where positive changes can be made. Sometimes practitioners will know what needs changing but need a little support to implement the changes. Consultancy days allow us to form a strategy as well as professional support, advice and guidance to make changes happen.

Quality Assurance Inspections
 

Whether you are pending an inspection or just want to know
where the setting currently stands a Quality Assurance Inspection could be beneficial. I conduct an inspection and give you valuable feedback at the end. Development plans can be devised and review visits can be arranged depending on your needs. Having a Quality Assurance Inspection allows us to work together to identify areas that need addressing before that important
inspection.

Post Inspection Support
 

Have you had an inspection that didn't quite go to plan?
Would you benefit from advice on support to address areas that were identified during the inspection? If so we can work together to ensure that recommendations and actions are addressed and that staff are trained and ready to face the next inspection with confidence.

EYFS Implementation
 

Sometimes providers and staff find it difficult to implement
the EYFS. This can be for numerous reasons including understanding the framework or devising a planning system that allows you to spend time with the children while at the same time recording learning and development in an effective way. ATR Consultancy can work with you and your staff team to develop planning systems and help you to understand the EYFS.

Quality Assurance Mentoring
 

Quality Assurance schemes offer parents additional peace of mind knowing that a setting has been awarded a quality assurance certification. We know it can sometimes be difficult to work your way through and round QA schemes and know what you should and need to be doing. ATR Consultancy will steer you in the right direction and help you put together the evidence in the setting.

Bespoke Training
 

Do you have ideas but not sure how to get them over to the staff team effectively? Or have you got an area you would like to improve but don't know how? Through initial discussion we can devise staff training to suit your individual needs and improve your unique setting. The training sessions are in line with current EYFS and ECM frameworks.

Policies & Procedures
 

Writing and reviewing policies and procedures can be an onerous task. Why don't you let us help you? Whatever you need whether it be a couple of days to review and update or help putting a complete set of policies and procedures together for a new setting we can do it.

Outdoor Environment
 

Do you have a fabulous indoor environment but outdoor is a bit of a mess? Do staff think outdoor play is a time to chat while children run themselves ragged? If so we can help. The outdoor environment is just as important as the indoor environment and children should be able to access the same quality of learning opportunities wherever they choose to play. ATR
Consultancy can help to transform your outdoor provision and we also train staff on how to use the outdoors effectively.

Observation & Assessment

For all providers whether a child minder or nursery practitioner observation and assessment is really important to helping children to progress. We also know that it is hard to fit in paperwork as well as looking after the children. Then let us help to find a solution that best fits your practice.
