In-Person Coaching: The Fastest Way to Transform Your Early Years Provision

 

What If Your EYFS Provision Was the Most Powerful Part of the Day?

 

Too many schools rely on interventions, challenges, and structured activities to drive progress—without realising that these strategies pull teachers away from where they are most impactful.

 

✅ If your teachers are stretched between too many tasks, learning suffers.

✅ If your provision isn’t set up to accelerate progress, time is being wasted.

✅ If your results aren’t improving, something isn’t working.

 

I help schools and nurseries rethink how they use their time, space, and staff to maximise impact—without relying on interventions.

How Coaching Works

 

In-person coaching is the most effective way to improve results quickly. Instead of training delivered detached from their real world context, I work alongside your team in real time to help them:

 

✔ Embed new skills instantly—so teachers don’t just learn about good practice, they experience it firsthand.

✔ Optimise provision—ensuring every part of the environment is actively supporting learning.

✔ Accelerate progress without extra interventions—helping teachers make the most of their time in the classroom.

 

Each coaching session is fully tailored to your setting. We explore what’s working, what’s not, and what immediate changes will have the biggest impact.

James has been my critical friend and has helped us move our provision from just areas of learning that offer children play opportunities to areas of continuous provision that offer open-ended resources and play experiences which allow children that really deep level of engagement. One of the things that we like has been the approach to zones, thinking about exploration and making connections.

 

It's had such an impact! Every child is now making progress within provision regardless of their starting points. Staff and senior leaders now understand the importance of play – it really makes you think about why we do what we do! It’s moved us from thinking we’re child-led to BEING child-led.

James really is an expert in all things Purposeful Provision and is a pleasure to work with.
