How can this photo not make you smile? It fell out of a book on Monday when I was arranging the wall of books at my exhibition. So it must have been travelling around the country - on show but unseen - for 7 years now! But who are you, little fella? I hope you’re still smiling

We don't need new routes to qualification for early years staff we need funding at a level where pay means more people are interested in working in the early years long term. You can't train up people who don't exist. Shame the DfE still isn't on here or I would tag them. #EYFS #EarlyYearsSky

Love the @rspb.bsky.social bird watch 💚

After my son came home from nursery with sand in his scalp I put this guide together and then put it on my Instagram and Facebook page over the weekend. It is linked to my 4E’s & resonated with a lot of parents of children with Afro hair textures. Early Years Educators you may find this useful 😊

‘When a child is already in care and is being failed by their corporate parents, anyone raising the alarm has to raise the alarm with the corporate parent. A failing corporate parent marks its own homework. There is no independent regulator of Local Authorities’ Children’s Services’ RIP Tash 💔

Has anyone used the new DfE benchmarking tool? I don’t know why they are using one set of schools to compare running costs incl staffing and another for building costs, how is that a true comparison? It might be me but any thoughts welcome. #sbm sbl# #education

A huge hug and a big mug of hot chocolate to all those heads who had difficult decisions to make today about opening, delaying opening, not opening... There's so many factors to take into account and you can never please everyone. Thank you for working to keep everyone safe.

You’re the wrong man at the wrong time in the wrong place. Happy Christmas Eve Eve everyone. We’re watching one of our favourite Christmas films. Quality sequal too! #YippeeKiYay

Word of the day (of course) is ‘scurryfunging’, from US dialect: the frantic attempt to tidy the house just before guests arrive.

#SnowWatch a favoured past time of the British. And a bane in the life of #headteachers as the ‘are we closing?’ Message start to trickle in. Right now in my corner of #Calderdale we have light #snow falling and none settling, so not photo worthy! #EduSky

Walking out at Hardcastle Craggs today. So many great spots to walk in #Calderdale. Lucky me.

Just a reminder for newskies that we make the algorithm here so it's helpful to post, like and repost as you pass through. You won't get notifications when someone shares your share so you do have to get used to doing it without that dopamine hit. It's just for the sheer community goodness of it! 😊
