Keeping Early Years Unique: Come and be a part of the EYs revolution!

When I first set up the Facebook group "Keeping Early Years Unique" back in March 2015, that was exactly what it was. A Facebook group for those working in Early Years who wanted a haven from the world of craziness of EYs social media.

Two years later, 30,000 members strong, and KEYU is far more than just another EYs facebook group. It's a global phenomenon. A movement. An agent for change. A community leading change around the world. A community where like minded practitioners find they are not alone even when it feels as if they are.

Through the group I have met so many people and have made some life long friends. It is these friends who continue to inspire me each day and our friendship has led to even more exciting projects, such as the KEYU book...which I am currently editing and also our very own national KEYU EYs conference tour. The first leg was entitled "Less is More" and offers the chance to hear from 6 of KEYUs leading voices. The next set of events, beginning with Brighton will be entitled "Right from the start" and will include workshop options.

KEYU Speakers L-R: Ruth Moore, Kym Scott, Elaine Bennett, Anna Ephgrave, Kathryn Solly, Sue Allingham, Leah Morris

So far the tour has visited London, Leeds, Bristol an Belfast. In July we will be visiting Manchester and Birmingham. In Autumn we will be in Brighton and Newcastle. And in Spring we are heading home to my town Southend, and also visiting Guildford and hopefully Nottingham too!

These events not only offer the chance to hear from some of KEYU's leading voices, but also the chance to network, put faces to those names with whom you often chat, or who have given you support and encouragement on your trickiest days through their posts and comments.

These events are really something very special and the feedback from our delegates tells stories of inspiring, buzzy, practice affirming celebrations of the very best Early Years thinking!

We promise you will have an inspirational day and will leave with your KEYU bag on your shoulder. Have a look at our carefully chosen stalls and maybe win a prize in the draw!
