Meet Steph, our staff room warrior who is out on the road meeting with communities of Jedi practitioners, early years experts and progressive policymakers to bring you honest, straight-talking and down to earth conversations about the stuff that really matters to you. With a different sofa guest taking centre stage in each episode, we aim to bring you closer to the early years conversation. This podcast series is perfect for parents of children aged 0-5yrs, and early years / EYFS practitioners. Due to Covid-19, we're hosting our episodes via the magic of zoom!
Hello dear listeners, welcome back to the #staffroomsteph EasyPeasy podcast, it’s great to have you with us.
We’ve got a great episode lined up for our parenting community! Today we’re joined on the virtual sofa by two Mums with a passion for the early years who have branched out and set-up their own businesses supporting parents.
We look forward to introducing Sophie Pickles (a.k.a Mummy Pickles as she is known to her social media followers) and Rachel Carey, a Children's Occupational Therapist about their transition from their previous jobs, and setting up their own ventures using their skills in child development. Plus - what it’s like to be a working mum and how their backgrounds working with children influence the work they do now. And of course, what their own journeys of becoming/ being parents have been like!
