To see meaningful impact, we recommend students use Educake 2-3 times per week. Regular use helps check understanding of new topics and reinforces learning through retrieval practice. Short quizzes set during and after teaching support long-term memory, while weekly revision of past content strengthens recall through spaced learning. Over time, this consistent, low-stakes practice builds confidence and improves outcomes.
Helen Grimsditch, Lead Early Years Consultant: This is because of the flexible, open-ended and creative approach of Tales Toolkit and how it supports high quality practice in the early years. The online training supports both existing educators and new educators in developing their own knowledge and understanding linked securely to the principles of the EYFS Framework. The four picture symbols that embody the programme and help to support young children’s early language development and enjoyment and confidence in telling their own stories. The approach is free or low cost to deliver in settings/classrooms above the cost of the initial and annual registration fee. Tales Toolkit is innovative and simple to deliver and educators and the children love it!Sam, Pre-school Manager, SENCo & DSL: It has helped with building confidence both for the children but also the staff team and being confident running a small group. It has helped with development of listening skills, sharing ideas and understanding that we all have different opinions (how a story may pan out, and taking that understanding into other real life situations). Thinking about a problem and finding a solution strategy - again life skills for children but also encouraging staff to listen to all the children's version of 'the problem' (normally a sharing issue) and finding age appropriate strategies to find a solution. Built speech and language skills too!Steph Dorling, Manager: Its simply brilliant, it can be anything and everything, it can also be quite telling as to what is happening for a child at that particular time. It's both joyful and deeply impactful.Gideon Lyons, Head of Department: I have used several quizzing/homework/revision packages over the years and can say with confidence that Educake is the easiest and most effective solution for us. Students and staff have engaged with it massively as shown by the data.

After a few months of using Educake, we offer a Top Tips training session which uses teacher feedback to share best practice to make sure you’re fully utilising all the features which will benefit your department or school. As we’re continually adding new development to Educake, this is also a good opportunity to get teacher feedback to help us continue to add value to the platform.
