America Square Conference Centre, London
Major changes are under way for both the inspection process and the EYFS, with Ofsted’s new framework launching in September and the revised curriculum due to go to consultation by the end of 2019. Both are of huge significance for the early years sector, with much to take on board and respond to. Not only that – there is a new Prime Minister in charge and the current Brexit deadline will have passed by the time of our Summit. What are the implications for policy, funding and business success?
This essential one-day conference brings together an expert line-up of speakers from Government, nursery businesses and consultancies to take stock, advise and prompt debate among early years sector leaders.
