The network, ‘Inspired by Reggio’, has been set up by owner of Little Barn Owls Hayley Peacock, with the aim of swapping resources and sharing ideas and training across the early years community.
Ms Peacock hosted 42 practitioners, managers, owners and teachers from across the southeast, Birmingham and Jersey at the first meeting of the network at Little Barn Owls in May. 
Three pedagogical co-ordinators from the nursery, which is based on the Reggio Emilia approach, provided presentations on recent long-term projects carried out with children.
Delegates were then taken on a tour of the nursery’s outdoor area, which houses vegetable beds and a greenhouse as well as chickens, quail, rabbits, ducks and micro-pigs.
