West Lothian’s Nurture Nursery held their first early years conference at the Low Port Centre in Linlithgow recently.

The Inspire Conference was for anyone working in early years including apprentices, students, practitioners, managers, teachers and childminders as well as those working in the third sector.

It brought together a range of early years experts to reinvigorate staff and bring much-needed training on a range of contemporary issues in childcare, education and the early years.

A spokesperson for the nursery said that the event had been a success and was well attended, and continued: “We are keen to help settings across Scotland come together to learn more and embed good practice in their settings.”
