The importance of sharing knowledge:

So that everyone can see to the needs of that child - whatever area that is.
It maybe a parent telling one of the practitioners that their child has had a bad night, a family bereavement, someone else collecting them from the setting, telling you their child has something they'd like to share with everyone at circle time but may need a little encouragement and support etc

It could be a practitioner such as your Senco having had a meeting with a parent or with parents and inter-agency for a SEN child - so that everyone will know what the review or change of IEP that is now to be implemented - or something you or another has observed of a child during the session for their next steps.

A practitioner who arrives in the setting first, may take telephone calls from parents informing the setting that a child is ill. As well as enabling you to close the register promptly - that practitioner will have established (sensitively) what that child has i.e. last November we had a small outbreak of Swine flu - very important to know.

There are lots of other reasons, but from the examples above, you can see why you'd need to know.

Why is it important that practitioners share their experience?

The same reason that children share theirs - so we all learn from each other. Even if we know something, sharing that knowledge with others often helps us reflect and develop further and improve our delivery of the EYFS.

You will probably observe other practitioners in your setting at work - perhaps they have many years experience and are good role models for others, as you may be to other practitioners, you can all learn from each others different styles.

If a practitioner goes on a course - they come back and share that knowledge with everyone - you can't always afford for everyone to go, or the course is for limited numbers.

Sharing experience betters/furthers your knowledge, improves the settings provision, helps you to reflect, resulting in leading to the best possible outcomes for children's development and learning.
