IMPROVE YOUR BUSINESS
We’ll Help You Reach Your Full Potential
Are you looking for clarity on how to improve your Ofsted rating? Would you like total peace of mind knowing that your team has the correct training in place to deliver excellence? Do you want to know how to make the most of government funding to achieve maximum profitability? If the answer is yes, you are in the right place.
With over 25 years of industry experience, we understand that running early years settings involves a lot of hard work. As the business owner or manager, it can be stressful to balance maintaining great standards of care alongside moving your business forwards, and things can easily slip or get put on the back burner.
To deal with this, you find yourself taking on more work than you have time for, which eats into your personal time. Or if you do delegate tasks, you find they’re not done to the high standards you expect and require as your team don’t have the same skills and knowledge as you do. This is the danger zone where things can go horribly wrong. Leaving you with more work to do than there was in the first place, increased stress levels and your hard-earned reputation at risk.
You don’t have to deal with this stress alone
MBK Early Years is here to provide you with specialist advice, support and development options to help your setting reach its full potential. We’re passionate about ensuring you’re able to provide children and families with the outstanding service you want to give, while your business grows and succeeds. Don’t put off making necessary improvements any longer. Keep on reading to find out more about how MBK Group can help…

About MBK Early Years
We’re a team of early years practitioners, specialists and consultants
who are passionate about helping you to provide outstanding early years services and run a successful and profitable business.
Our founder, Tricia, opened her first day nursery in 1999. She named it Bright Kids and registered under the name Millennium Bright Kid Company Ltd. A nod to the new millennium which was just on the horizon.
Like many new businesses, it experienced highs and lows. Many lessons were learned along the way, both financially and through Ofsted inspections. As the business developed staff numbers increased, and it was soon noted that good quality, relevant training was scarce.
In 2014, we took matters into our own hands and used our wealth of early years experience, knowledge and skills to open our own training centre.
It was the start of MBK.
The MBK Happiness Guarantee
We’re committed to inspiring you to deliver the best possible care and education you can while achieving sustainability and profitability. Your happiness with our service is guaranteed as we will go above and beyond to get things just right for you. If we don’t then we will give you your money back.
Using Over 25 Years Of Experience, Knowledge and Expertise To Help Your Early Years Setting Be The Best It Can Be
Our specialist training and consultancy services help early years settings perform better and achieve more. Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some of our clients have to say about us…
I recently had the pleasure to take part in the leadership and management training with Emma Beard from MBK. Emma was welcoming, friendly and professional. She made many of us, new to the management role, feel confident to share any worries or queries within the group. The activities and tasks were well presented and added valuable knowledge and understanding of what our roles would consist of. Resources and materials needed were provided in advance to allow all participants to feel confident to engage in break out discussions and present ideas of what we thought was important in good management. Thank you for helping me feel ready to take the next step in my career!

Our whole team would most definitely recommend the Ofsted Experience Day to any setting who are keen to ensure they are providing the very best they can for the children in their care.
The experience was very well received by all members of our team as our Mock Inspector made everyone feel at ease whilst still making the day feel ‘real’. All staff said the visit was invaluable in aiding their confidence, especially since the mock inspector offered hints and tips following any interaction with them. The Management team had some constructive discussions with the Mock Inspector, and we were really appreciative of any actions that were highlighted to us to better our offering to our children and families.
The one thing that stood out was the supportive nature of the visit. Not only did we gain a real insight into what a real inspection would be like, we were also able to learn lots from our Mock Inspector who was extremely knowledgeable. The inspector pointed out any areas for improvement in a really positive and supportive way and really celebrated our successes.

MBK has helped so much as we have four settings and therefore many staff who need to keep Up to date with Early Years Training etc. MBK have a wide range of courses and dates that we are able to fit around different staff’s working pattern, company positions and we can prioritise and plan accordingly.
The courses they attend are relevant and of interest and informative. Being with others from the workplace helps also as it prompts discussion and confidence.

If it hadn’t been for this inspection experience then the staff would not have got to grips with the three I’s and the quality of education judgement may have been compromised. As it was the team became much more focused on how to implement the three I’s and how this affected closing gaps in children’s learning.
