Find your local branch

We have volunteer-run local branches across the UK which organise meetings where you can hear a speaker, network with other local practitioners and, in the case of face-to-face meetings, often visit a local setting or school.  

Branch events are open to members and non-members of Early Education, with members getting free or discounted access.  

Click on a branch below to see their upcoming events and have the option to sign up for their mailing list.  Our events page shows a full listing of all upcoming branch events.

Welcome to the Midlands branch of Early Education

The Midlands branch supports all those working in early childhood education in Birmingham, the Black Country, Telford and Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and other neighbouring areas.

Our committee has representatives from many of the local authority areas bringing different perspectives and experience of working with children and families to planning events, including colleagues working in higher education, the private and voluntary sector, local authority support teams, primary schools, and maintained nursery schools. We meet three to four times a year online. We welcome new members, please get in touch if you would like to join our committee.

Branch events are planned as a series of online evening events with speakers on a range of topics plus an annual in person conference, offered in partnership with the University of Wolverhampton at their Walsall Campus, as it is easily accessible from the motorway and public transport systems.
