This is an opportunity for early years practitioners and leaders from schools and early years settings to come together for professional development opportunities, discussions and updates.

Autumn term 

This term’s network will provide an overview of the development of Leicester’s Family Hubs programme, including a number of workforce development opportunities that are to be offered to the sector as part of this work.

There will be updates on key services and programmes, including the Prevent education lead and there will be guest speakers from Speech and Language UK and Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland- Early Language Support for Every Child (ELSEC).

There will also be opportunities to network and engage in discussion with early years peers about your experiences and practices.
