Dear Diary: Can we talk about mealtimes?

This week, Emily is back with a fresh perspective (after surviving a nasty bug!) and she's diving into one of the most chaotic yet rewarding parts of any early years setting – mealtimes! 😅

From the panic of baby room spills to the stress of managing allergies, Emily gets real about why this part of the day is no walk in the park. But it’s not all stress – she’s also sharing tips on how to turn mealtimes into learning opportunities, boost independence, and bring a little more calm to the chaos!

Plus, Emily’s tackling some big questions: Why do we LOVE working in early years? And what’s your favourite part of continuous provision?

She’s got some brilliant listener feedback to share, and of course, a cheeky plug for The Early Years Network (because who doesn’t love expert resources at £4.99 a month?).

If you’ve ever felt the pressure of mealtimes or just want to hear some down-to-earth advice on early years life, this episode is a must-listen! 🌟
