“A really refreshing course on block play that was inspirational” Block Play Training Participant 2025

“Our entire EYFS team, from those working with babies through to Reception, recently attended the EYFS Block Training with Mireilli, and the impact has been immediate and incredibly positive.

Staff returned from the training feeling inspired, full of fresh ideas, and genuinely excited to begin developing their block areas further. In just the first two days of the new term, I have already observed a noticeable shift in practice, practitioners are highly engaged with children in the block area and confidently supporting and extending learning through meaningful interactions.

I have attended a number of training sessions with Mireilli over the years and she is fantastic. Mireilli is extremely knowledgeable and has an engaging delivery style. 

The training struck just the right balance between theory and practical application. It included insightful videos, rich discussions, and importantly, dedicated time to create action plans. In a sector where everything is often go-go-go, it was refreshing to have the opportunity to pause, reflect, and plan for real, sustainable development in our practice.

Highly recommended!” – Head of Ambler Children’s Centre
