We’re pretty proud of the network & caliber of the specialists we work with – of course they’re amazing with children, but our clients also love how friendly, passionate and likeable they are when working with adults.

It’s a big thing for us – and that’s why our selection process sets out to find not just those that are passionate & skilled but also those that have an infectious zest for life & can balance who they are with what they do.

In return for joining the Astute Early Years Specialist network, we can offer our specialists the perfect amount of flexibility to complement their existing personal & working life.

We promise that working with us will be fun & rewarding but best of all, all the hard (and boring) admin stuff is taken care of – we believe in letting you focus on what you do best – connecting with others about early years practice.

The type of early years specialists we partner with:

1. Passionate – you love children, the people that work with children, the people that have children & the people that own the early years services for children.
   
   
2. Talented – you have serious talent in your areas of expertise. You let evidence inform your practice and you have a message to deliver to all professionals blessed in working with and alongside children.
   
   
3. Professional – you take your craft very seriously. You mean what you say, say what you mean, turn up on time, show respect to all & deliver world-class service to clients.
   
   
4. Fun – you like people, they like you and you are positive, friendly, warm & engaging. You are an energy giver not an energy taker.
   
   
5. Minimum requirements – You have experience in the early years as a professional & you can demonstrate the qualities we need to us. There are a few other technical hoops required like insurances and blue cards, but we will go through this with you.

If this sounds like you and working with our clients as an Astute Early Years Specialist excites you, please get in touch with us.
