Potentia Teaching School Hub (TSH) was designated in 2021 and supports Schools and PVIs within the areas of Amber Valley, Bolsover, Chesterfield, Derbyshire Dales, High Peak and North East. For further information about Teaching School Hubs, please click on this link.
Alfreton Nursery School has been offering Continuous Professional Development (CPD) to a wide range of audiences, for many years, whether you are a parent or practitioner interested in Willow Weaving and Wild Fire Cooking or a Teacher interested in Early Years Pedagogy or developing amazing outdoor spaces, we have a range of bespoke and structured courses available.
Our offer is continuously being developed and if there is something you are interested in, we are more than happy to have a conversation to discuss how we can work together to support your needs. Similarly if there is something that your Setting/School would like to share with others, we are happy to discuss how we can help to work together to share your practice or messages of success. We look forward to working with you to make a difference to more children and families.

Continuing Professional Development
At the heart of every child is a unique genius and personality. What we should be doing is allowing the spark of that genius to catch fire, to burn brightly and shine
