The Changing Lives Workshop is a great opportunity for practitioners to remind themselves of the free early learning offer for 2, 3 and 4 year olds (free 15 - 30 hours, depending on eligibility), the expansion of this free early learning offer - beginning April 2024, priority places for vulnerable children, paying for childcare options, and the wider Bright Start 0-5 services.
You will hear from FIS and guest speakers Sarah Bolden, Priority Early Learning Co-ordinator and Ruth Cookson, Early Childcare Co-ordinator for Bright Start South.
This 1-hour session includes a workshop element giving you an opportunity discuss and reflect on the difference you can make in your work to encourage families to take up the free early learning offers.
The session is held online and is open to all practitioners working in Islington or in services delivering to Islington residents. You are very welcome to attend.
