Service Description

The Early Years Festival in 2026 brought together almost 250 delegates from schools, nurseries, childminding settings, and the wider early years workforce. Across the week, participants attended a series of high-quality workshops, and a full-day EYFS Conference, followed by a Saturday event for childminders and early years practitioners. The return of the Early Years Festival 2027 will once again honour the people, practice and passion that shape the vital first years of a child’s life. More than just an event, the Early Years Festival is a space to connect, reflect and be inspired. The programme is being finalised and speakers confirmed.
