EYFS Network Groups are free to attend and are open to a representative from all settings and schools with EYFS provision in Buckinghamshire. They are facilitated by members of Buckinghamshire Council’s Early Years Service. They are an invaluable opportunity to network with other local providers, hear about the latest local and national EYFS news and discuss current and pertinent issues with colleagues.

The sessions are organised so that you can join either a North, Central or South of the County meeting. This will ensure that you can network with your colleagues from your local area. Currently, we are holding both virtual and face to face meetings. Those that attended the face to face meetings in the Autumn term valued that contact, found networking easier and discussions on the focused topic were more involved.
