It’s been a busy week on TikTok as we’ve been talking all things SIMOA, sharing top tips, practical advice and helpful checklists to support your everyday practice.

I’m really looking forward to joining Fiona from Twinkl Scotland on Monday 16th March for a TikTok Live all about Safeguarding and SIMOA, alongside Rebecca from Onwards And Upwards Consultancy.

We’ll be discussing key messages, practical considerations and what this guidance means for early learning and childcare services in practice.

If safeguarding is an area you want to feel more confident in, or you’re keen to strengthen your understanding of SIMOA, come and join us as we go live!

Another busy week at Piccola HQ with some exciting developments on the horizon!

Lots of Challenge Card orders have meant plenty of trips to the Post Office, plus local deliveries across Glasgow (I love seeing them land straight into settings). Grab your set here! https://forms.office.com/e/iy7VJ81qbw

We’ve also delivered team training with a brilliant group of Early Years practitioners and managers. We had focused discussions on the new Joint Quality Improvement Framework, explored what it looks like in real practice and even completed a team self evaluation before lunchtime!

My latest blog for Connect Childcare on the topic of the national induction resource was published - you can catch it here https://connectchildcare.com/blog/using-the-national-induction-resource-in-early-learning/

And an exciting meeting to discuss some collaborative work with other Early Years Consultants - we'll be sharing more on that, over on TikTok. You can follow along here https://www.tiktok.com/.ey?_r=1&_t=ZN-94IKVf7Isqc

Busy, productive, and exactly the kind of week I love - thank you for keeping us on the go! 😊

This survey will help the Early Years sector for SSSC and key partners to make informed decisions that support the workforce in social services

Survey closes on Sunday 22 February and we would be most grateful if you would please be willing to share the following survey link with your own networks who might be eligible to participate: https://www.research.net/r/HYS2026.
