• Course overview

    Eligibility: This network is open to South Gloucestershire Early Years settings and childminders working in Cluster 6 only.

    These one hour virtual Cluster 6 network meetings offer an opportunity for early years professionals to come together to connect, share practice, and discuss current updates and developments across Cluster 6 and the wider local authority. The sessions aim to support ongoing collaboration between settings while creating space for professional dialogue, reflection, and relationship building.

    Participants will have the opportunity to hear key local updates, discuss current priorities and challenges within the sector, and explore opportunities available across the local authority, including training, support, and networking opportunities. The meetings also provides a chance for practitioners to share experiences, raise questions, and reflect on areas of practice relevant to their own settings and communities.

    Alongside sharing information, the networks aim to strengthen connections between professionals working across the cluster and support the development of future collaborative opportunities. Time will also be included to discuss ideas for future face-to-face networking and ways to continue building supportive professional relationships across the area.

    Please book onto each individual session as required, via the View and Choose Course Dates section below, after you have signed up.
