Online Membership Catch-up

Wednesday 15th May 10am - 12pm
FREE via ZOOM

It's time for another catch-up! In May, SOSCN members will have the opportunity to hear what we have been up to and our plans for the coming months. Topics we'll be covering include:

  • An overview of the results from our Care Inspection Survey, and the next steps to be taken in an attempt to address the main issues raised.
  • A walk-through of our new online training and shop resources.
  • A demonstration of free resources we have produced to promote the financial support available to parents to pay for childcare.

We'd also like to hear your ideas for trips, outings and activities for the summer- is there somewhere you can recommend, and wish to share with others? Our plan is to pull together the shared ideas and suggestions, and produce a free booklet full of summer activities, trips and outings which will be available before the end of May.

As ever, there will be opportunity for general discussion and chat- we hope to see you there.
