Join us for a productive day of networking, information-gathering and debate with senior sector leaders, advisers and opinion-formers.
Although the past few years have been extremely challenging for the early years sector as it emerges from Covid, few could have predicted the huge political and economic upheaval that has happened of late.
How do nursery businesses maintain and develop high-quality provision in the face of sky-rocketing costs of living, economic turbulence, a recruitment crisis and continued underfunding?
Resilient as ever, many nursery operators are finding ways to surmount the challenges and focus on the fundamentals that will ensure that they meet the needs of young children, families and staff.
Nursery World’s Business Summit: Delivering High Quality in Tough Times, live at America Square on 7 March, will consider all the big questions. As well as policy and the economy, we’ll examine the prospects for the childcare market, find out what Ofsted thinks early years providers should do, look at CPD priorities, and get everyone involved in a conversation about a 10-year vision for the sector. All that, plus the vital themes of intergenerational care and sustainable development, adds up to an event not to be missed.
The conference includes:
- Keynote on early years education and childcare policy from Shadow Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson MP
- Ofsted early education lead Wendy Ratcliff with an update on early years inspection
- Focus on policy and public spending from Christine Farquharson of the Institute for Fiscal Studies
- Priorities for CPD with Paul Moore of Busy Bees Education and Training
- Take part in a new conversation for the early years with James Hempsall and Jan Dubiel
- Perspectives on the UK and international childcare market from Cairneagle’s Arun Kanwar and Grandir CEO Jean-Emmanuel Rodocanachi
- Running a successful business without compromising quality, with Jo Caswell and Kate Peach
- Denise Burke looks at the business and social benefits of co-locating nurseries and care homes
- Advice on leadership for early years sustainable development from Cheryl Hadland
