In Cheshire there is a thriving and growing network, led by Alex Seftonand Kim Kellock, where EYPs have already reaped the benefits of meetingand discussing issues with other professionals. The monthly, full-daymeetings are held at children's centres around Cheshire and are normallyorganised around specific training requirements, suggested by members ofthe group. These have included schemas, learning journeys, Mastersdegrees and the Early Years Foundation Stage. The day concludes with aguided tour around the children's centre.
The network has delivered a number of benefits, including opportunitiesfor continuing professional development, sharing ideas and experiences -particularly in the context of the EYFS - and visiting children'scentres to gain insights into different services offered. The meetingshave also been an ideal forum for exchanging information aboutexhibitions and conferences, and promoting a feeling of belonging.
