Early Years Foundation Stage Conference: Empowering all our Children to Live Healthy, Happy and Active Lives

‘It is a stark thought that children turning 2 now have spent their entire life in the context of a pandemic. Their first years have been considerably different from what we have previously expected a ‘normal’ early childhood to look like.’ Amanda Spielman at the Nursery World business summit March 2022

Children settling into school in September 2022 will have spent half their lives in the context of a pandemic and for 2 year olds, life with Covid-19 has been their ‘normal’.

With this in mind, our annual EY conference will explore the importance of children’s earliest social experiences, the relationships they build within their settings and schools, and how we can give them the best possible start to their early education. We will explore, through a range of keynote presentations, the importance of early attachments, building positive relationships with adults and ensuring children are given every possible chance to lead happy and healthy lives.
