Early Education launches events to address gaps in professional development when working with birth to threes

These series of events will highlight the importance of quality – rather than quantity – of provision for the new entitlements for children from nine months to two years.

To date, most of the debate around the new entitlements has focused on the issues with funding, workforce and availability of places. By contrast, these events will focus on the importance of quality of provision for children of this age, sharing the extensive evidence base about the importance of the first three years of life. 

A range of expert speakers will cover key aspects of working with this age group and invite practitioners to discuss whether they are getting the professional development they need, and what more is needed.

The series starts on 19 March with a hybrid event at the Thomas Coram Centre in London and online. Julia Manning-Morton will consider past and present contexts, changing views of 0–three-year-olds and approaches to practice, and why keeping our youngest children at the forefront of our minds is central to our practice and provision.
