So glad I have found this podcast. I am just starting my early years career at 38 doing a level 2 apprenticeship and wondering if it's all too late, am I mad 😂
While I agree with being smart casual at a conference I vehemently disagree with uniforms in the early years
Loved this, looking forward to listening to next weeks already. Definitely found this useful in getting to know you. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for the kind words, you wont actually have long to wait with episode two coming this Wednesday!
I will miss you too girls!! You have been fantastic 💕
Love this so real . Really really helpful for me new to the industry
Can we get the hamper online?
Unfortunately the hamper raffle will take place in person at the expo.
What a brilliant guest Jordan is! He makes so much sense and yes we are educators and not carers. We are teaching the next generation. Also Jordan made me realise that there are so many different paths in Early years and not just working in a nursery. He's really made me think about what I would like to do next. 😊😊😊
*promo sm* 🤭
I loved this podcast! Now I'm a new mum, it was so nice to have someone to relate to and it made me feel like I wasn't going through this alone. Though out, I just kept saying yes and yep! haha Loved it!
Enjoy everyone 🎉
