For all childcare providers across Leicestershire

After the success of last year’s event, join us for an engaging and informative Inclusion Marketplace, bringing together childcare providers, professional partners and support services to explore how we can create environments where every child belongs, participates and succeeds.

Meet with key partners, visit information stands, discover resources, practical ideas, funding opportunities, and reflect on how inclusive practice can support positive outcomes for all children and families.

Explore inclusion themes including:

Identifying barriers to learning and development

Early identification of needs and tracking progress

Supporting children eligible for Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP)

Supporting boys' learning and development

Creating inclusive environments

Funding available to support disadvantaged children and families

Belonging and inclusion for every child

Wellbeing and co-regulation

Meet and connect with:

The Early Years Inclusion and Childcare Service

Family Hubs

Early Help Facilitation Team

A range of other professional partners and support services

Inclusion is not what we do for a few children. It is how we develop our provision so that every child can belong, participate and succeed.

Staff from the same setting are all welcome to attend. To help us manage capacity and maintain accurate attendance records, please ensure that each attendee books their own ticket.
