Empowering Early Years Workforce

The popular show for early years and primary education professionals works closely with associations such as Community and National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA), to bring visitors support and advice and to empower the early years workforce. Community is a modern trade union who support early years professionals with any workplace issues such as unfair changes to contracts and working hours. This union also takes a stand for the early years workforce by lobbying the government for better employment terms and conditions.

Trusted partner, NDNA, is a charity who are dedicated to making a difference to the early years sector and actively holds to their mission statement, “To lead and empower the sector so that nurseries and the early years workforce deliver sustainable, high quality early childhood education and care.”

Join these associations, amongst others, at the show and take advantage of the invaluable support they provide.
