Nursery World Business Summit
Setting a new agenda for early years provision
The early years sector is facing an unprecedented level of change and challenge. While Labour is now in power, reforms to employment law and an overhaul of the inspection framework are fast approaching amidst the ongoing recruitment and retention crisis and expansion of the childcare offer.
It is a lot for early years leaders and managers to navigate while keeping focused on delivering the best quality care and education for young children and their families.

• Practical steps to boost the digital skills of your workforce
• Case study on creating a positive culture across multiple sites
• Insights into the strengths of various models of early years provision, and which are best placed to be sustainable, and ultimately deliver for parents and young children
The conference is designed for:
