Meet the speaker
Alexandra Chiorando
Marmalade Early Years Consultancy
I am an early years teacher and consultant with extensive experience supporting mathematical learning through play, routines, and enabling environments. I have worked across school nursery, Reception, and private nursery settings, helping practitioners move away from worksheet-led maths towards meaningful, real-life experiences that children understand and enjoy. This course draws directly from my classroom and consultancy experience, offering practical, creative approaches to early maths that are easy to implement and grounded in how young children learn. Practitioners benefit from clear guidance, adaptable ideas, and strategies that build children’s mathematical knowledge confidently through everyday practice.
Maths in the early years is built through play, routines, and real life experiences, not worksheets.
This training shows how everyday moments like snack time, tidying up, outdoor play, and games become powerful opportunities for children to develop number sense, problem-solving, and mathematical language. Suitable for childminders, early years practitioners, teachers, and parents, the course offers practical, creative approaches that make maths meaningful, enjoyable, and easy to embed into daily life.
