Early Years Funding and Regulation
28 Feb 2013
Broadcast from London

Childcare provision is moving into a new, more challenging, era. With new two year old progress checks, and parent and local authority budgets under pressure, this event will provide you with insights on how to finance and sustain early years’ services.

Watch this online event and you’ll get expert advice and guidance on meeting these challenges. You’ll discover what works and will engage in lively discussion with other early years’ service providers in private, voluntary and local authority settings.

You’ll also get an insider briefing to help you prepare for the implications of the Commission on Childcare coming through the pipeline. Plus, you’ll also understand how other providers are re-shaping the profile of their workforces (gender, age and qualifications) to deliver greater operational stability.
