Why join our Early Years Network?
This is a unique opportunity to learn from exceptional Early Years practice and connect with colleagues across Northamptonshire.
Our Trust prioritises Early Years and recently Pineham Barns has been awarded an exceptional judgement for its Early Years provision under the new Ofsted framework—a rare national recognition and unprecedented locally.
Join us to be part of a professional community committed to giving every child the very best start.
This network is all about sharing great practice, inspiring ideas, and connecting with fellow Early Years enthusiasts. Whether it’s discussing ways to encourage writing, exploring muddy outdoor learning, or sharing tips on engaging provision—no topic is off limits!
We want this network to focus on what truly matters to you and your setting. Whether you’re looking for inspiration, practical advice, or simply a sense of community, this network is here to support you at every stage of your journey.
Join our brand-new Facebook and Instagram page today, and let’s build a growing community to shape, celebrate, and collaborate on all things Early Years!
Together, we can celebrate achievements—big and small—share best practices, explore new approaches, and shape the future of early childhood education in a way that truly makes a difference for children, families, and practitioners alike.
