AI in Early Years Education

Brilliant to work with the phenomenal staff from Houghton Community Nursery School and their sister school, Mill Hill Nursery School (Sunderland), today — exploring the best uses of AI in Early Years education. I’m fortunate to visit hundreds of schools across the UK and beyond, and I have to say these two have some of the most inspiring set-ups and learning environments I’ve ever seen. We’re lucky to have such outstanding Early Years provisions right here on our doorstep in the North East. It’s been a real pleasure getting to know the teams in recent months and supporting them as they begin to embed AI into their daily routines — already seeing the huge benefits it can bring to workload reduction, teaching and learning. I’m loving continuing my own journey of exploration too, constantly discovering new AI tools and techniques, and seeing first-hand the transformative impact AI is having across all areas of education.
