Growing together: Nurturing Nursery Business Success with Children at the Heart
What to expect from the Nursery Owners Summit?
This is a full day conference aimed at Nursery Owners and their managers but you are welcome to come along if you are a Pre-school Owner, a member of Pre-school Committee or you support those who operate early years settings.
Our theme last year was journey. This year we are about Growth. Growth can mean different things to different settings. It's not always about growing our businesses, it can be growing as leaders, growing our team, growing the reach in the community we serve.
And as we grow we don't want to lose sight that we have children at the heart of what we do.
We have lined up expert speakers to give you masterclasses throughout the day.
We have also got wonderful exhibitors in the Exhibitors Showcase and a brilliant environment for learning and networking with fellow owners.
We want you to leave, informed and inspired. This is not a doom and gloom conference. The whole idea of the conference is for you leave with a plan of action and new friends.
What the day will be like...
The Nursery Owners Summit is a Day Nursery conference that aims to inspire, inform, educate and even entertain!
Based around the theme of growth yet keeping children at the heart of what we do, the day provides an opportunity to meet and share with other Nursery Owners and Senior Leaders.
It’s a chance to reflect, learn and respond. A day where you can focus on YOUR nursery and the action you need to take, in a supportive environment, to enable you to reach the summit.
We have lined up expert speakers, wonderful exhibitors and a venue that will take the very best care of us. Join us for dinner the night before if you are staying over.
The conference opens at 9.15 a.m. and closes at 4.30 p.m.* *Subject to change on the day.
