Hotspots & Tricky Spots — Everyday Connection: School & Nursery Activity Pack
Hotspots & Tricky Spots — Everyday Connection: School & Nursery Activity Pack
Small changes. More moments of connection.
Help your team notice where communication already flourishes—and explore small changes where it feels harder.
Created for nurseries, early years settings and primary schools supporting children aged 1–7, this practical pack helps staff consider the space, everyday routines and how adults respond. Use it during play, snack time, book sharing or transitions.
What’s included
- 17 illustrated pages, supplied as colour and low-ink PDFs.
- A clear NOTICE → MAP → TRY → REFLECT process.
- Completed example maps and observations.
- Six reusable worksheets for noticing, planning, reviewing and sharing what helps.
- Illustrated Follow, Pause and Respond prompt cards.
- Everyday examples, practical ideas and advice signposting.
Easy to start. Practical to reuse.
Begin with a pen and four pages. Explore one familiar routine, choose one manageable change and return to reflect. Use the sheets for staff discussions and conversations with families.
The pack values gestures, sounds, signs, speech, AAC and home languages. Participation remains optional, and quiet spaces for rest are protected.
