The Yardley District Network Meetings aim to provide local practitioners with the opportunity to share information and access professional development.
Meetings take place once per term and are open for anyone to attend.
The sessions on offer are planned in response to local or national priorities and practitioners’ needs. They are an opportunity to connect with other Early Years colleagues in your area, keep up to date, and share good practice.

What is a Steering Group?
Yardley district covers the wards of Acocks Green, parts of Bordesley Green, Garretts Green, parts of Glebe Farm and Tile Cross, parts of Hall Green North, Sheldon, parts of Small Heath, parts of Sparkbrook and Balsall Heath East, South Yardley, Tyseley and Hay Mills, Yardley East, and Yardley West and Stetchford.
Each district is run by a Steering Group, that meets at least three times a year. The Steering Group is made up of representatives from across the Early Years community and childcare provision in the district who work together to support contact, communication, collaboration, and engagement across the sector.
Steering Group representatives use the District Data Profiles, alongside any other local information, to develop an action plan that is focused on the children in the district.
More information about Steering Groups and how they are run can be found here.
