Meet the speaker

Alexandra Chiorando

Marmalade Early Years Consultancy

I am an early years teacher and consultant with extensive experience supporting settings to create and implement clear, meaningful curriculum. Through training and in-setting consultancy, I help practitioners move beyond generic planning to develop a curriculum that reflect their children, values, and community while meeting statutory expectations. This training draws on real examples from practice, giving learners practical, Ofsted-ready guidance they can apply immediately in their own settings.

Practical Support You Can Use Straight Away

This training is grounded in real early years practice and the realities of busy settings. It supports you step by step to make sense of curriculum expectations and turn them into something clear, workable, and meaningful for your team. As part of the course, you will receive a free editable curriculum document to help you shape, record, and develop your own curriculum in a way that reflects your children, setting, and values. There is no jargon and no one-size-fits-all model, just practical guidance you can use immediately.
