| 7/7/25 | Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan and Sue Egersdorff | The Power of Intergenerational Nurseries In this podcast, I speak to Sue Egersdorff, co-founder of the intergenerational Ready Generations Nursery at Belong, in Chester. Her work is a powerful reminder that early childhood settings are not just educational spaces – they’re deeply embedded in the wider social and political landscape. | 46m 45s | ||||||
| 5/30/25 | Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan and Greg Bottrill | Are children deprived of the opportunity to play?... ...is not a new question, but one that continues to be tackled on many levels. Greg Bottrill’s book 'Can I Go and Play Now?' remains a catalyst for the conversation and highlights the importance of adults as loving companions, advocating for children’s right to a childhood. | 33m 32s | ||||||
| 4/8/25 | Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan and Frank Cottrell-Boyce | If you have been frog marched through books, why would you ever read for pleasure? asks Frank Cottrell-Boyce, the Children’s Book Laureate. The award-winning author and screenwriter Frank Cotterell Boyce is the 13th Children's Laureate of the United Kingdom, a role created by The BookTrust to champion every child’s right to a lifetime enriched with books and stories – recognising the transformative power of reading in children's lives. Join us on the podcast and hear Frank ... | 39m 40s | ||||||
| 2/14/25 | Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan and Jools Page | Professional Love: The Beating Heart of Early Years Education and Care On Valentine’s Day, there is much talk about romantic love, but we are talking about a very different kind of love; professional love, a term coined by Dr Jools Page and familiar to many colleagues across the Early Years sector. Introducing the phrase professional love gave permission to Early Years colleagues to use the word ‘love’ in the professional context. I was delighted to replace the word ‘care’ with ‘l... | 40m 25s | ||||||
| 1/9/25 | Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan and Louise Hannan | Unpacking The Twoness of Twos The Government has agreed to continue the roll out of funded places for two-year-olds, with talk of putting them into schools. Many are concerned that this plan may ignore the uniqueness of the two-year-olds. To mitigate this, my colleague Louise Hannan, (currently researching the emotional environment for two-year-olds) and I have refreshed the original Twoness of Twos report to raise awareness about our role in ensuring two-year-olds thrive in ever... | 38m 36s | ||||||
| 12/18/24 | Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan and Jen Singer | A Right to be Children: The Importance of the Design Architecture The importance of architecture to Early Years is often misunderstood. The building is part of the enabling environment and needs to be designed to support learning by creating the right environment and resources both indoors and outside. They are also integral to meeting the sustainability pillars; economic, social and environments in their design for example where they are situated, and how they support local communities... | 36m 23s | ||||||
| 12/9/24 | Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan and Sarah Ronan | Sarah Ronan is the director of the Early Education and Childcare Coalition (EECC) – an organisation made up of 35 members which represent children, parents, providers, the Early Years workforce and the wider business community. Like many others in the Early Years sector, Sarah's journey is deeply personal. Her own experiences with inaccessible childcare, combined with her passion for women’s issues, led her to work with organisations like the Women’s Budget Group and Pregnant Then Screwed. Sh... | 26m 16s | ||||||
| 11/21/24 | Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan and Eunice Lumsden | There is a lot of concern about recently qualified staff who appear to find adjusting to the workplace a challenge and seem to have emerged with degrees which are low quality. As an employer of nearly 1000 staff, that is an issue, because my job isn’t simply to recruit staff but to succession plan ( and I don’t mean that in a Brian Cox sort of way!). Therefore, these concerns which I am hearing about from many quarters are of concern. But are these facts or rumours and setting out... | 35m 36s | ||||||
| 11/13/24 | Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan, Barbara Crowther and Jaynaide Powis | It seems strange that in 2024 parents feel the need to lead a campaign about healthy food, but with the help of the Children’s Food Campaign at Sustain, that’s exactly what they are doing. Indeed, they managed to get to meet members of parliament to share their manifesto with them. In this podcast I speak to Barbara Crowther, Children’s Food Campaign Manager at Sustain and parent ambassador Jaynaide Powis about their comprehensive polling of over 2,000 parents conducted by Savanta and the C... | 40m 27s | ||||||
| 10/23/24 | Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan and Ofsted (Wendy Ratcliff & Sam Sleeman-Boss) | Getting into your Ofsted Groove! In this podcast I talk to Wendy Ratcliff and Sam Sleeman-Boss from Ofsted about the Big Listen, refreshed handbooks, new complaints procedure and the research review series and how they are feeling about the Ofsted Academy and the future of Ofsted. While there are some things they cannot answer yet, like how will Ofsted reshape, I am holding them to the promise of a research report on babies especially with the expansion of childcare to include little babies o... | 39m 11s | ||||||
| 9/9/24 | Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan and Alison Clark | Slow Pedagogy Slow pedagogy calls for compassion where we actively do something to address suffering. During Covid, the LEYF staff running our 15 nurseries for key workers had a call with me at 3pm every day. I looked forward to our chats and it wasn’t long until they we talking about how the reduction in numbers of children, time to play, less curricular demands and fewer wider issues was positively impacting on the children and they in turn were slowing down th... | 30m 13s | ||||||
| 7/15/24 | Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan and Sally Hogg | Baby, It’s Time Do you think babies are a focus of care and education policy enough? Do we have a baby policy blind spot? We think so! This is the subject of my conversation with Sally Hogg, Senior Policy Fellow at the Centre for Research on Playing Education, Development and Learning better known as PEDAL. Why has this issue become so important now? Well, because of the speed of the childcare expansion. From September, babies from nine months will be ab... | 24m 25s | ||||||
| 5/31/24 | Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan and Professor Al Aynsley-Green | It’s fitting that this podcast is being aired on International Children’s Day because Sir Al is a huge advocate for children over his very busy and noteworthy 50 years. His message is powerful, and he pulls no punches about his frustration over the failure of our country to take seriously the importance of children, and particularly those in the Early Years. “Every child should be given the resources to achieve her or his full potential. Now, why don't we have that being articulat... | 35m 08s | ||||||
| 4/24/24 | Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan and Prue Leith | In this podcast with Prue Leith, we discover that Prue’s approach to life is summed up by her autobiography, “I'd Try Anything Once” and the more she talks the more you believe it! From posh white girl in South Africa to judge on Bake Off, food dominates Prue’s career. Her passion is undimmed as is her patience with the stupidity of politicians. She provides an entertaining but thoughtful summary of her efforts to put small children's health and access to food right at the centre ... | 39m 59s | ||||||
