A2YO is the national DfE support programme for providers and local authorities, delivered by Hempsall's and Mott MacDonald.
National support director James Hempsall says, ‘Roadshows aim to offer providers, childminders and schools with all the information they need to consider whether it is right for them to offer free places for two-year-olds.
‘You can hear all about developments across the country, what you need to be considering, how to work with your local authority, and things you could or should be doing. With free early learning for two-year-olds being an exciting new funding stream, there are business and funding opportunities for providers to carefully consider how to get involved.
