Early Years Network
- Exciting new ideas?
- Shaping the curriculum?
- Wanting to tell others about your setting?
- Developing an idea you want to research?
Many early years practitioners are initiating exciting changes and narrowing the gap between practice and policy in their settings. Come and share your practice and hear how others are shaping theirs. Termly meetings give you an opportunity to engage more fully in professional conversations about new initiatives, practical approaches, impact on settings and how you can lead change. Extending your professionalism will deepen your impact on young children’s learning.
Hertfordshire’s Early Years Advisory Team and the University of Hertfordshire’s School of Education are working together to establish an exciting network for committed early years practitioners. This new venture is aimed at everyone in the early years workforce across Hertfordshire and neighbouring areas.
Membership is free - and all Early Years colleagues from education, health and social care, playwork, training organisations, childminding - anyone with a professional interest in young children 0-8 is welcome to join us.
