• Course overview

    Eligibility: This network is open to South Gloucestershire Early Years settings and childminders working in Cluster 3.

    These 1.5 hour, face to face networks provides a supportive and collaborative space for all early years settings to come together and engage with key issues affecting the sector. They offer an opportunity to discuss current challenges, explore local and national policy changes, and consider how these developments impact practice across different settings.

    The networks encourage open discussion and reflection, allowing practitioners to share experiences, raise common concerns, and contribute ideas for future training opportunities, projects and areas of development. A strong focus is placed on sharing good practice, celebrating what works well, and learning from one another.

    Participants will also have opportunities to visit other early years settings, gain insight into different approaches, and build strong professional relationships. Overall, the networks aim to strengthen collaboration, foster continuous improvement, and support early years practitioners to feel informed, connected and confident in navigating ongoing change within the sector.
