Atelier Talks: The Early Years Collective
The Only Early Years Podcast Led by Providers, for Providers.
Atelier Talks is a dynamic and thought-provoking podcast where the Atelier team shares expertise, insights, and discussions on the most pressing issues in the early years sector. Released every two weeks, each episode brings together practitioners, consultants, and leaders from both Atelier Nursery and Atelier Consultancy, ensuring that the topics are always rooted in real practice and relevant to providers today.
We tackle everything from pedagogy and leadership to working with babies, recruitment challenges, and sector-wide policy changes. This is not just another early years discussion—it is a space for providers to connect, learn, and feel supported by a community that truly understands the realities of the sector.
