Did you know?

Children are welcome to visit as long as they are supervised at all times, but will not be allowed into the seminar theatres. There is no need to register children under the age of 16 as there will be plenty to do at the show to keep them occupied!

Childcare Expo is a trade event and therefore will not be suitable for college students – however, undergraduate and postgraduate students are welcome to take advantage of the seminars and networking opportunities available.

Please remember that when you register for Childcare Expo, you are agreeing to allow photographs and videos to be taken of you and your children by the official event photographer and videographer to later be used for publicity purposes.

Testimonials

“Attending Childcare Expo reminded me that I am part of a much bigger and wider community of Early Years practitioners, that each and every one of us was passionate enough about what we do to travel to London off our own backs to improve the life chances of the children we teach. I would recommend attending, if only to remind yourself that you are not alone in this sector, that you don’t need to work in a bubble and that there are lots of people out there just as willing to get covered in glitter, pretend to eat a playdough cake, talk seriously to a puppet and sit on the tiniest of chairs as you are.”

Louise Smith, Visitor, London 2017

“The quality and content was superb. Organisers were very welcoming and organised. Thoroughly enjoyed workshops and have already shared information with colleagues. Excellent variety of stands/stalls. Next time I will arrange to spend longer at the expo to experience the seminars. Many thanks for a super day.”

Suzannah Gleaves, Visitor, Manchester 2016

“On a recent visit to Midlands Childcare Expo I was struck by how differently I now feel towards the Childcare Expo brand and its events. As I am now a regular blogger for Childcare Expo, I felt very much a part of the team and I almost felt a little bit important (though very much a small fish in a big pond) as I walked around and spoke to people whom I have previously networked with thanks to these fabulous events!”

Hayley Smith, Brand Ambassador

“Had an amazing day at Childcare Expo. Highlight of my day has to have been meeting Dave Benson Phillips, who is my childhood idol – I may have been a little starstruck! The seminars I attended were also really helpful and I learned a lot about new topics, so it was well worth the visit.”
