Hello!

I’m Shardi, an Early Years specialist, writer and advisor with a particular passion for Loose Parts and Sustainable Provision. I write blogs about all things Early Years, teaching, and classroom provision and practice. I am currently an Early Years Adviser and previously have held various leadership positions including Assistant Headteacher and Early Years lead. Alongside this I deliver training and support for settings as well as Local Authorities.

I am committed to the fundamental purpose of early years education and I am passionate about curriculum and classroom design, where all children can take risks and develop skills important for them to succeed. I love outdoor learning, and neutral and natural classrooms, which promote an inclusive environment as well as supporting well-being and mental health. With many years’ experience as an early years practitioner and leader in London, I am passionate about supporting other practitioners to provide sustainable provision on a shoestring.
