From September 2025 eligible families will be able to claim 30 hours of funded early education and care for children from nine-months old up to school age. This is an expansion of the 15 hours currently in place (from September 2024). Consequently, many settings have seen, and will continue to see, an increase in the number of babies in their care.
In this webinar, sponsored by YPO, our expert panellists will offer practical advice and guidance for practitioners and nursery leaders about how best to provide education and care to those in the very earliest days of their lives.
The panel will discuss:
• What does best practice look like for under-twos?
• How to create the right environment for the baby room
• CPD/training
• Ways to build staff confidence
The hour-long webinar will take place from 12:15pm to 1:15pm on Thursday 8th May.
