Dear Colleagues, 

Welcome to the start of another new academic year, we hope you are enjoying getting to know your new children and families. The first Early Years Bulletin for this new year ahead is attached, packed with important local and national updates and links, including changes to the statutory EYFS, Stronger Practice Hub news, and support for families. Please do read it carefully and share the attached flyers and newsletters with staff or families where relevant. 

We encourage as many of you as possible to attend the Ofsted Big Conversation online event on 4^th October (3.30 – 5.30pm) as this is your opportunity to hear from Ofsted first-hand, and importantly, to give your feedback and hear from other providers too. Scan the QR code on the flyer or in the Bulletin to register. 

As ever, please do stay connected via the Bristol Early Years website and Calendar and contact your lead teacher with any queries.

With best wishes 

Bristol Early Years Team
