Dear Colleagues, 

As 2024 comes to an end we have pleasure in attaching the last Early Years Bulletin of this year together with a number of flyers for sharing with staff and/or families. 

As well as important statutory updates, the Bulletin is full of useful information to support your work supporting children and families, such as the free Multilingual toolkit – please do sign up to get one for your setting if you have not done so already. There are also some other great free training offers, including the announcement of the dates for the 2025 ‘Exploring Achievement in Reception and the ELGs’ development days at Engineers House.  Look out for the free dental care and toilet training offers too and the great CPD offers from the Bristol & Beyond Stronger Practice Hub and the Network. All the links are in the Bulletin.

This time of year, with the passing of one year and the start of another, is always a time for reflection and hope and Bristol Early Years would like to thank everyone in our sector for their hard work and dedication to children and families. We wish you all a very relaxing winter break when it comes,  however you are celebrating, and we look forward to working alongside you as we head into 2025. In the meantime please do stay connected via your lead teacher and the website.

With festive thanks 

The Early Years Team
