Work Matters: Early Years Professionals - Case studies

Careers & Training
Delyth Mathieson, early years project manager at Edge Hill University, Lancashire, explains how one EYPS student worked towards evidencing Standard 25: Establish fair, trusting, supportive and constructive relationships with children.

Alice Apel is the head and owner of three settings: Atherton House School in Crosby, Homeland Day Nursery, Altrincham and Richmond House Kindergarten, Hale. Alice undertook the validation-only pathway in September 2007.

Alice reflected on how she could show how she built fair and respectful relationships with the children and also how she promoted that with her staff.
