The 7th Nursery World Business Summit

The past year has been like no other for the early years sector, as the Covid-19 pandemic brought lockdowns, restrictions and multiple operating challenges in terms of safety, staffing, occupancy and sustainability. Funding shortages have been brought into even sharper relief, with forecasts of closures, but there have also been opportunities for growth and new ways of doing things that will endure. In a wider context, coronavirus has savaged the economy, but Brexit has staggered on. How do nursery businesses respond to such seismic change? Our essential conference has moved online, taking place on the afternoon of 4 March and the morning of 5 March. An expert line-up of speakers from government, Ofsted, nursery businesses and sector organisations will tackle the big issues, dispense advice and prompt debate.
