Upcoming Tales Toolkit Webinars!
Here at Tales Toolkit, we are super lucky to be connected with a community of wonderful experts, all specialising in a section of early years learning or development.
Our webinars give us the opportunity to share the knowledge with you, and link together experts with the same ethos for play, creativity, and the overall development of young children.
These webinars are free for all to attend (you don’t even have to be a member!) and are perfect snippets into what Tales Toolkit believe in and are working towards.
If you’re a Tales Toolkit member, you’ll get to access these webinars even after they’re finished to use as a foundation for staff meetings or training days, as we keep them all in our library!

Our webinars are delivered to you by experts and educators specialising in early years education and development.
The webinars run for about an hour each, and are structured as live videos, where each speaker will be introduced by Kate and then proceed to speak on their chosen topic for about half an hour.
After this, there will be a slot of time for you as viewers to type and ask questions! All you need to do is follow the link that we’ll post via social media and our website, register for free and then maintain a strong WIFI connection on a phone, computer or tablet throughout the webinar.
We are limited to about 50 people attending per webinar, so make sure you log into the waiting room early on the night to ensure you can join in!
These webinars are wonderful resources and provide interesting insights to the world of early years learning and teaching.
The line-up for our upcoming webinars from September 2018 until February 2019 is immense.
We’ve got early years specialist consultants, educators, learning environments expects and authors.
If you’re a member and you think it’s likely you’ll miss a webinar, just drop us an email on info@talestoolkit.com and we’ll ask the questions you want answered during the talk!
