Name: Purposeful Provision Conference - Leeds
Start: 2026-02-28T09:30:00+00:00
Location: Pudsey Civic Hall

Guess what?
The Purposeful Provision Conference is making a grand return, and this time, we're heading to Leeds in February 2026!

Our theme this year is 'Creating YOUR Language Symphony" and we're targeting settings with children from birth through to the end the Reception Year.

"Creating YOUR Language Symphony" is all about giving you an inspiring mix of practical ideas you can put to use straight away. Much like a symphony brings together different instruments to make beautiful music, we believe that truly effective language development happens when you blend a variety of simple, tried-and-tested approaches. We hope you’ll leave the conference not only energised but also confident and ready to craft your own unique language ‘symphony’ in your nursery or classroom, tailored perfectly to your children and their needs.

We're incredibly mindful that budgets are stretched to the limits so this conference is going to be delivered on a 'shoe string.' That means we're pulling back on some of the 'extras' and focussing on the core - the learning. We've lined up a set of wonderful workshops for you to choose from and some wonderful vendors to chat and network with.

This half day event is running at Pudsey Civic centre. We've chosen this site to support our local economy (3 and out of the 4 workshop trainers live within 1 mile of the centre). This site is easily accessible both by road (with plenty of parking and local bus routes) and by train (nearest rail station, New Pudsey, is a 5 minute walk).

This conference is perfect for practitioners and leaders working in group settings such as schools and private nurseries as well as childminders, playgroup staff, parent support workers and interested parents.
