NCB Early Years Networks Regional Events

As part of NCB and C4EO’s Peer to Peer Quality Improvement programme, NCB is running a series of regional events for local authority (LA) staff who are members of its early years networks (Local Authority Early Years Network, National Quality Improvement Network and Young Children's Voices Network).  

These events are an opportunity to:

  • Share and celebrate LA practice
  • Learn about aspects of quality improvement and how to improve quality within your LA/setting
  • Discover materials and tools to support your practice


The events are free to attend and up to three delegates can apply from each LA. However, places are limited and early booking is recommended: priority will be given to members in the host region for each event.

The first event, which focused on communication and language within the EYFS, took place on 3 October in Manchester: download papers from this event.

The second event will take place on Thursday 17 November in York and will focus on improving the quality of early years. Please download the flyer for details.

To book: please complete the booking form indicating which network you are a member of and return it to Daisy Hirst - dhirst@ncb.org.uk
