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.

Projects and Provocations – Deepening Children’s Meaningful Learning
In this episode, we explore the role of project-led learning and intentional daily provocations in shaping rich, meaningful experiences at Atelier Nursery. Learn how children’s interests grow into sustained inquiries, how carefully designed provocations invite exploration, and how this approach aligns with the EYFS while fostering confident, independent thinkers.
Take a Step Inside: A Walk Through Atelier Nursery
Step inside Atelier Nursery and discover how thoughtfully designed environments can nurture curiosity, confidence, and connection. In this episode, we explore how every detail - from natural materials to layout - supports child-led learning, independence, and a deep sense of belonging. It’s not just about how the space looks, but how it feels to be there.
The Environment as the Third Teacher
At Atelier, we believe the environment is never passive. It is alive, responsive, and intentional-a third teacher that communicates our values long before we say a word. In this Podcast, we discuss how we have taken inspiration from the Reggio Emilia approach, to design spaces that invite children to explore, imagine, and connect.
