Cornish Early Childhood Conference Brings Innovation, Inclusion and Inspiration in Early Childhood Education to the South West
Happy Days Nurseries & Pre-Schools and Naturally Learning are proud to announce a joint initiative, the Cornish Early Childhood Conference 2025; a celebration of early years practice, designed to inspire, inform, energise and connect!
This two-day event offers early years professionals across Cornwall and the South West, the space to reflect, recharge, and explore what high-quality education looks like in practice.
Taking place on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th September 2025 at the Pavilion Centre, Royal Cornwall Showground, Wadebridge, the conference aims to bridge the gap in access to high-quality CPD opportunities that professionals in the region often experience due to geography.
Mandy Richardson, Managing Director of Naturally Learning commented,
I’m incredibly excited to be part of this amazing event. My goal was to bring the very best of the Early Years world, speakers, suppliers, and resources, right here to Cornwall. It’s one of the most beautiful places to live and work, but its distance can sometimes limit access to national and international opportunities. This event is about changing that.
The conference will welcome an exciting speaker line-up, including Jan Dubiel, Laura Henry, Ben Kingston-Hughes, and Alice Sharp, alongside practical workshops and a bustling exhibitor showcase.
Fiona Blackwell, Chief Operating Officer at Happy Days Nurseries & Pre-Schools added, “We know that practitioners and early years business owners in Cornwall can sometimes feel isolated from wider national opportunities, so it’s fantastic to be part of something that brings inspiration, high-quality speakers, and valuable resources right to our local community. It’s about making sure everyone in early years feels connected and supported, no matter where they’re based.”
Tickets are just £30 per day, with sessions running 8:30am–5:00pm, including a Cornish lunch and afternoon tea.
And in a wonderful added gesture, all proceeds from the conference will be donated to Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW), helping to support children with life-limiting conditions and their families across the region.
