Childcare Expo

childcareexpo — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 05:59:27 +0000

Childcare Expo is The UK’s National Exhibition and Networking Event for the Early Years, Childcare and Nursery Sector.

The UK children’s day care nurseries market was worth £3.9 billion * in 2008. Despite the current economic crisis, it still rose by 4% in 2008,* which adds to the exceptional growth that the industry has seen over the last 10 years. (sources by Laing and Buisson) Due to the growth of the industry, it is vitally important that practitioners within the market keep up to date with current news, products and information.

Childcare Expo, sponsored by Morton Michel Insurance, is an event catered to all decision makers within the early years, childcare and nursery sector. It will bring together key industry experts with suppliers to create a stimulating and inspiring environment for all professionals within the sector.

Visitors are welcome to ‘try and buy’ from the suppliers as well as the opportunity to attend an eclectic range of seminars and practical workshops which will be lead by specialists within the early years market. The exhibitors and speakers will offer first hand, informative advice to cater to your business needs.

It’s an ideal occasion to meet with your business partners, staff or other child carers and take a trip to Childcare Expo. We guarantee that you will leave feeling inspired, enthused and full of new ideas to maximise your business to its full potential.

Balance Bikes: Your Thoughts, Opinions and Stories

admin — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 11:05:12 +0000

We’re now selling balance bikes on early years at home and we’ve had a great response from customers. Balance bikes are a great way to learn how to ride and balance at a young age. They help kids develop motor skills and muscle groups needed later in life.

We think many children could skip the stabalisers and go straight for the balance bike. Kids can use their feet to stabalise themselves so they learn how to push themselves carefully from side to side naturally and therefore learn how to adjust their body weight in order gain balance. Kids learn how to ride much more quickly like this.

What are your thoughts on balance bikes?

Half moon bin

Great idea to have a hand towel dispenser in my tiny cloakroom, but where to put a bin? A little one I could attach to the wall underneath the dispenser would be great for the kids and for me – better than down the loo or having one kicked about and tipped over! Hope you can source one. Many thanks.

New products

I’d like to see more wooden products available. Aside from early years at home does anyone know where I can go for new ideas?
