In-Person Surgery: Central & East Cluster Summer District Surgery with Early Years Consultants
Topic of discussion: Supporting children with English as an Additional Language (EAL) in Early Years
This is a face-to-face event for those working within the Central & East Cluster Districts of Ladywood, Hodge Hill & Solihull North, and Yardley.
Cluster Surgeries take place once every term and are led by your district Early Years Consultants (EYC). These sessions offer a supportive space where providers and practitioners can explore current topics linked to delivering high‑quality practice across early years and childcare.
They’re also a great opportunity to connect with other professionals and providers, share experiences, and build the strong relationships that help us work together to improve outcomes for Birmingham’s children.
Whether you are a childminder, an early years practitioner, a group setting manager, a director, or an early years lead in a primary school, you are warmly invited to join these sessions.
