New manager's academy

Are you new in the role of the manager of an early years setting? Perhaps you have only been the manager for the last 6 months or so. Let us know and we can offer you some additional support whilst you fully find your feet.

One of the Early Years Project Officer's will meet with you to discuss your current challenges and offer advice and guidance including sign posting for additional support and information. You will also be invited to termly, virtual group meetings to network with other new managers for peer support.
