20 May Early Years and Wraparound Regional – Birmingham

Date: 20/05/2024
Time: All day
Location: Leonardo Royal Hotel, Broad Street, Birmingham B1 2HQ

We look forward to welcoming you to face-to-face regional meetings in May 2024. These meetings aim to bring you together with peers from across all local authorities, to network, benchmark your delivery and share success and challenge. Regional meetings are designed to share the latest DfE and Childcare Works information, and to focus on planning and delivery for wraparound childcare and the expanded early years entitlements. The audience for these meetings is wraparound and early years leads. We are inviting LAs to register on a first come, first served basis. Places are limited in the first instance to two per local authority. This will be reviewed against demand.
