EYP Update: New experience for EYPs

Careers & Training
EYPs are getting a first-hand look at pedagogical practice at an outstanding Montessori setting. Karen Faux reports.

No less than 30 Early Years Professionals are to make a visit to Lincolnshire Montessori as part of Cambridgeshire Local Authority's commitment to ensuring ongoing professional development. The visits, which will operate in three relays of ten, will highlight the pedagogical aspects of Montessori practice and link them to the Early Years Foundation Stage. EYPs are keen to gain more understanding of how Montessori methods can inspire their practice.

Lincolnshire Montessori opened last April and has received an outstanding grading from Ofsted. It is based at Top House Farm in Caistor, and set in ten acres of countryside. It can claim to be unusual in that it has a unit that includes three-year-olds to six year-olds and straddles the nursery-to-school divide, making it similar to kindergartens on the Continent.
