We look forward to welcoming you to the Childcare Works Early Years and Wraparound autumn face-to-face regional meetings.
Regional meetings are designed to share the latest Department for Education and Childcare Works’ information and to focus on planning and delivery. Regional meetings bring local authorities together to network, share success and challenges across the early years' expansion and wraparound childcare.
The theme for the autumn regional meetings is Growth and Sustainability - supporting you to consolidate the work of last 18 months and to look at Early Years and Wraparound in the context of other childcare policy work.
Each meeting will run from 10.00am to 3.30pm, with arrival and registration from 9.30am.
Bookings closed at 5pm on Monday 22nd September 2025. If you have booked a place and not received an Outlook invite, or if you have booked a place and can no longer attend, please email childcareworks@mottmac.com
