Episode #23
Curiosity is at the heart of every great learner. In this episode, Sophie explores how children naturally investigate, question and discover the world around them, and how educators can nurture those moments through meaningful experiences, conversations and play.
Episode #21
When you hear the word writing, what comes to mind? Pencils? Worksheets? Letter formation? In this episode of Tops Talks, Sophie challenges some of the common misconceptions about writing in the early years and explores why writing is about so much more than putting words on paper. From mark making and storytelling to schemas and purposeful play, this episode will help you see writing through a completely different lens.
Episode #20
Mathematics is often misunderstood in early years. It's not just counting and number recognition; it's pattern, space, measure, comparison and reasoning. Sophie explores how mathematical thinking develops naturally through play, curiosity and everyday experiences. From transporting schemas and tower building to problem solving and sustained shared thinking, discover how mathematics is woven throughout children's learning long before formal education begins.
Episode #25
What is it really like to be inspected under the new Ofsted Toolkit? In this episode, Sophie is joined by Senior Nursery Managers, Chanelle and Stacey, who share their honest experiences of navigating inspection, from the planning call to the final feedback. Together, they discuss what surprised them, how the new Toolkit shaped their preparation, how their teams felt on the day, and the lessons they wish they'd known beforehand. Whether your inspection is just around the corner or you're simply looking to build confidence, this episode is packed with practical advice, reassurance, and real-life reflections from leaders who have recently been through the process.
Episode #22
Inspection can often feel like one of the most daunting parts of working in early years, but understanding the process can make all the difference. In this episode of Tops Talks, Sophie Johnson explores what inspection looks like under Ofsted's new Early Years Inspection Toolkit. From the planning call and inspection day experience to curriculum, inclusion, safeguarding and leadership, Sophie shares practical insights into what inspectors are looking for and how settings can confidently showcase the incredible work they do every day. Whether you have an inspection approaching or simply want to better understand the new toolkit, this episode will help you focus on what matters most: knowing your children, understanding your impact and demonstrating the difference you make.
