Welcome to
BRISTOL EARLY YEARS



As a city, we are committed to reducing inequality and building inclusion so that all our children and young people grow up in a city where they feel at home, where they feel they belong, and where they and their families can thrive

Bristol Early Years is aware of the significant workforce recruitment and retention challenges facing the sector, both here in our city, and nationally

Bristol Early Years are committed to addressing diversity and inclusion in a meaningful, constructive and holistic way



The Free Entitlement has been expanded to include 2 year olds from working families from April 24 and Under 2s from working families from September 24.

The government is providing a package of training, qualifications, support and guidance for the early years sector to address the impact of the pandemic on the youngest and most disadvantaged children.
