Vista are working with an East Midlands dance based artist Oksana Tyminska, who has over 20 years of experience working in a variety of community settings, in particular with Early Years. Based in the East Midlands Oksana has experience working extensively with Sure Start and nurseries using dance and movement to encourage creativity with the with the early years and provide training for Early Years practitioners. 

We have developed a practical resource pack to help Early Years practitioners (EYP) identify any eye conditions children at the nursery may have, which need to be referred for further testing. The aim is to give EYP and parents help and guidance in accessing the correct resources to prevent sight loss or eye conditions becoming worse. 

The nurseries we visit will not only benefit from the training and the workshops but they will also receive a resource pack to continue and re-enforce the learnings from the workshop. For more information about this project or resource pack or to get involved in the pilot please contact Oksana Tyminska on [email protected] or 0781 6074 977.
