The next Childcare & Education Expo North is taking place in Bolton in June and registration is now officially open.
The event (17 & 18 June) will offer inspiration, ideas and fun for everyone working in the early years and primary education sectors.
Panel discussions and CPD seminars
Take part in one of the panel discussions on education and staffing, where experts will unpack the issues surrounding recruitment and retention. In addition, the conversation will look into how we can start rebuilding the workforce and reveal how to unlock some of the key issues that will shape the future of the sector.
There are eight seminars during the two-day event offering opportunities to debate, learn new skills and expand your knowledge.
On Friday, Alistair Bryce-Clegg from ABC Does will talk about the superpower we all possess – play!
This will be followed by topics including speech, language and communication difficulties and nature pedagogy.
The programme will end with the lowdown on early years inspections and curriculum updates from Ofsted.
Saturday will look at child-led learning and how to create curious and creative little ones.
Pennie Akehurst, Managing Director at Early Years Fundamentals will take a deeper look at the areas that frequently appear in inadequate and RI inspection reports; the reasons, trends and what practitioners can do to avoid these outcomes.
To close off, early years expert Shaddai Tembo will reflect on our responsibilities as educators in promoting social justice.
Free interactive workshops
Visitors will be thinking green on Friday as practitioners look at using loose parts to create a sustainable eco-system. Things may also get a little messy as Sarah Seaman will be offering her, ‘Muddy Fingers and Muddy Movers’ workshop!
On Saturday, learn about the benefits of language learning from Kidslingo and how to bring learning to life with award-winning Nanny and Author – Kathryn Lord.
Speakers from Alfresco Learning will also provide visitors with plenty of practical outdoor activity ideas.
Feature areas
New to North is an interactive Forest School Feature Area created by Cambium Sustainable. There will be a range of natural activities to get stuck into such as mud painting, natural weaving and charcoal mark making. Visitors can also enjoy the many craft zones, where special treasures can be found and created to take home or to their settings.
Exhibition and shopping village
The show floor provides opportunities for shopping, forming relations with exhibitors, sourcing new suppliers, networking with associations and redeeming exclusive offers. This is the perfect opportunity to be united with those who are passionate about early years and primary education.
