Excellent Foundation Stage Units To Visit In Manchester

[Guest]

Hi ,

i am a reception teacher and was wondering whether anybody could help the nursery teacher and i. We teach at a school in Manchester and would really like to visit an excellent FSU to see good practice and to learn from. Does anybody work in one and could help u?

Many thanks

Hi Natalie - can't help I'm afraid but just wanted to welcome you to the forum!

Well there is nothing like setting your sights high, Natalie!

 

Welcome to the Forum - hope someone comes up trumps and you'll soon be off to see what 'excellent' looks like (and hopefully that is not vastly different from your own practice!).

I can't help as we're a special school and don't have a FS unit but when I was in mainstream Heyes Lane as mentioned above was a beacon of good FS practice back when I was an NQT in 2002. It was interesting to see, although clear they had huge sums of money!

Of course it could just be because you worked there, Nichola!

LOL I didn't work there! I did work in that authority though, hence why I visited as part of my NQT training!

I'd say I did work in a good reception unit, nursery was and still is on its own where I used to work.

Alistair who was the head has left and is now a tutor and trainer in England and Europe for all things Early Years. (I'm booked on a course in June.) but as Nichola says they had lots of cash thrown at them
