Effective Supervisions & Performance Management

Building High-Performing Teams Through Meaningful Support

Strong leadership begins with meaningful conversations. Effective supervision is more than a tick-box exercise—it is an opportunity to support staff wellbeing, improve practice, identify training needs and drive high-quality outcomes for children.

This practical and interactive course is designed to give managers, deputies and room leaders the confidence and skills to conduct effective supervision meetings, manage performance positively and build a motivated, high-performing team.

Participants will explore how to deliver reflective supervisions, provide constructive feedback, set meaningful objectives, manage difficult conversations and support staff development while meeting EYFS and Ofsted expectations.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

✅ Conduct meaningful and effective supervision meetings.

✅ Understand the difference between supervision, appraisal and performance management.

✅ Deliver constructive feedback with confidence.

✅ Set SMART objectives that support professional growth.

✅ Manage performance concerns fairly and effectively.

✅ Support staff wellbeing and professional development.

✅ Meet EYFS and Ofsted expectations for leadership and management.

✅ Create a positive culture of accountability, reflection and continuous improvement.

Invest in your team, strengthen your leadership and create a culture where both practitioners and children can thrive.
