Written by a former UK nursery manager (14 years in the sector, SENCO and DSL experience, Ofsted-inspected and Quality Counts audited), this is the PSED guide I wished my own team had — practical, evidence-informed and completely waffle-free.
What’s inside the 11-page guide:
PSED in plain terms — the three strands and the science of co-regulation explained simply
A full Development Map across five age bands (0-12m, 12-24m, 24-36m, 36-48m, 48-60m): what you’ll see, where to focus your practice, and “phrases that work” scripts for the hardest moments
“When to look closer” boxes — professional prompts for early identification, SENCO conversations and safeguarding awareness
Weak vs. strong observation examples — so your team finally writes observations that mean something
A ready-to-adapt Next Steps bank, organised by age band and strand
Schemas and Characteristics of Effective Learning through a PSED lens
The adult’s role: what to do, what to stop doing — including emotion coaching step by step
“If an inspector asks you about PSED” — what inspection questions are really assessing
SEND and EAL adaptation guidance + ELG readiness indicators
