  • Episode #40: He's Your Son, I'm Your Mid-Life Crisis
    Mar 26 2025

    The team at Hopscotch Early Years Consultancy are back for their weekly look at the wide wide world of Early Years!

    This week, Laura, Chris and Edward cover the usual housekeeping, there is a sense of desperation at the Wheel Of Chance, and we have a very special (and forthright) guest auditioning to become a regular Expert on our panel! You'll also have to turn the volume up as Edward bodged the audio again. Sorry. Won't happen again.

    The Early Years Bottomless Brunch podcast is brought to you by the team at Hopscotch Early Years Consultancy - the UK's premier destination for mock inspections, pre- and post-Ofsted support, training and commercial and startup advice for all Early Years providers.

    Mar 19 2025

    It's another week and another episode of the Brunch, recorded live at Hopscotch HQ. Covering everything happening in the Early Years world every episode, the team from Hopscotch Early Years Consultancy make keeping up with the latest trends in the sector as fun as a night out with your besties!

    This week, Edward, Laura and Chris catch up with the latest both from their own busy lives but also what's happening in the sector, we have another brilliant EYFS Glow-Up, and the exciting return of the technical audio difficulties that plagued us before Christmas. Absolutely amateur stuff from Edward here.
