Join us at our National early years and childcare conference!

We’re pleased to announce we’re hosting a National early years and childcare conference again this year, on Wednesday 17 September, at Venue Cymru, Llandudno.

The conference is free to attend and is open to anyone who has an interest in early years and childcare.

Come along to hear from national and international early years experts. We’ll also hear from settings, to find out how they put theory into real-life practice. The conference will support networking opportunities and professional learning.

What we’ll cover:

  • The active offer – expectations around implementation and practical tips to demonstrate how this has been pro-actively embedded in exemplary settings.
  • Additional learning needs, including supporting neurodiversity - how this looks in practice in a setting, sharing examples of the difference this approach makes to a child’s experiences.
  • Equality, diversity and inclusion - we’ll be joined by a speaker sharing their own experiences in Wales, and a setting bringing to life the ways in which inclusivity is at the heart of what they do.
  • Leadership and management - what this looks like for the sector and how this is demonstrated in practice, including the difference this approach makes in relation to retention of staff and their well-being.

The programme is being finalised, but in the meantime, you can register through the form below and we’ll share more information soon. We hope to see you at the conference!
