Fantastic first day at Nursery Managers Show

Nursery managers gathered in Birmingham today for a fun day of CPD, entertainment and recognition.
The fantastic first day of the free Nursery Managers Show, run by Nexus Media Group, gave managers the opportunity to access packed sessions across four stages, with topics ranging from top tips for your Ofsted inspection and leadership skills to safeguarding, curriculum development and recruitment and retention.
Record numbers of delegates downloaded CPD certificates recognising their attendance at sessions.
On the entertainment stage attendees were treated to sessions of musical bingo with the chance to win a holiday, and danced along to 90s boyband 5ive, who thanked the crowd for the great job they do.
