pod.link/1701995826 ‘Nursery Workers Bite Back’, tells the story of the 1984 Islington nursery strike. The nursery staff were unappreciated and overworked - until strike action helped them find their voice. Their story mirrors my own experience of nursery work and strike with @neunion.bsky.social

These pamphlets are one of the most useful resources out there for EY’s staff, as far as I’m concerned! Especially love Playing with Power.
Do you know the Froebel Trust's amazing pamphlet series? It offers loads of sound and practical input for work with young children - and it's all available for free. Spread the word!

#PayUp24
Great to be on the picket line in Clapham this morning at St Francis Xavier College, 1 of 40 sixth form colleges not given full funding to implement this year's 5.5% pay rise.

Solidarity with teachers fighting for a fully funded pay rise at every sixth form college #PayUp24

Was a pleasure to find out more about the Islington nursery strikers @ontherecordcic who were successful in campaigning against increased ratios and working conditions in the 80s. Their slogan on ratios was, “1:4 and not one more!” #earlyyearsmatters

Lucky to have worked in a nursery that valued children’s marks and had a rule that adults would never make marks for children. Look at this flamingo! Children’s drawings are endlessly fascinating. #EarlyYearsSky #PlayMatters #Froebel
