EYFS 2012 National Conference

Calling all senior managers, EYFS co-ordinators and practitioners!

If you are involved in managing and supporting children’s Early Years provision then you should join our conference and make sure you are fully prepared for the implementation of the revised EYFS 2012 from September. It will provide a fantastic opportunity to reflect on your strengths and find straightforward, practical ways to address the changes.

Come and hear keynote speakers Helen Moylett – who was highly involved in the production of the EYFS in 2008, provided expert advice to the Tickell Review and co-wrote the 2012 Development Matters guidance – and Elizabeth Elsom, Ofsted’s EYFS Divisional Manager.

The day will include a wide range of masterclasses to choose from, covering all aspects of the changes, from PSED to parental involvement. All the masterclasses will be run by experts in their field.

This conference cannot be missed!

Hope to see you there,

Vicky Hutchin
