The Cornish Early Childhood Conference is back! Join us for more laughter, tears and inspiration as we shine the light on engaging children.

Cornish Early Childhood Conference 2026

18–19 September 2026 | 8:30am start

We’re back, and we’re ready to do it all over again.

Last year’s Cornish Early Childhood Conference wasn’t just inspiring… it felt like a celebration. The room was full of energy, connection and a shared passion for young children. People described it as uplifting, refreshing and unlike other conferences they’d attended.

There was laughter, there were tears. There were powerful conversations.

There was a proper pasty lunch.

And of course, a proper Cornish cream tea (jam first, we don’t compromise on that).

In 2026, we’re building on that same spirit. Two days of inspiring speakers, practical workshops and thoughtful discussion, all grounded in high-quality early childhood practice and professional wellbeing.

This is a space to reconnect with your purpose, strengthen your professional identity and spend time with people who truly understand the work you do.

Professional learning, with heart, community, and a distinctly Cornish feel.

Come and be part of it.
