Wraparound Childcare Conference
We are delighted to invite you to a free Wraparound Childcare Conference for school-run providers, PVI settings, and childminders across the East Riding. The event will take place in March 2026 at Beverley Racecourse and will also be an excellent opportunity for providers considering opening new wraparound provision.
The conference will be delivered on two dates:
• Friday 20th March 2026 – 8:45am to 3:30pm
• Saturday 21st March 2026 – 8:45am to 3:30pm
Please note that the same conference will be repeated on both days, so you only need to attend one. Places are confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis, so please book early to secure your place

What to expect
The conference has been designed in direct response to feedback from wraparound providers and will include:
Two specialist workshops delivered by The Bold Type (operators of the Out of School Alliance – OOSA), covering:
• High-quality playwork and the role of the playworker
• Creating inclusive environments and embedding inclusive practice
Opportunities throughout the day to speak with:
• East Riding Safeguarding Partnership – safeguarding advice and guidance
• East Riding Inclusion Team – inclusive practice and the Local Offer
• Families Information Service Hub – childcare entitlements, marketing your service on the Family Service Directory, and advertising job vacancies
There will also be dedicated time for networking with other wraparound providers from across the East Riding.
