About TEY 2026
About Transforming
the Early Years
TEY 2026 is grounded in the belief that early years work is both powerful and deeply demanding — and that those who do this work deserve to be supported in meaningful ways. It brings educators and leaders into a space that recognises the unseen effort, the emotional investment, and the responsibility carried each day.
The conference is designed to ensure you feel seen in your practice, supported in your challenges, and reconnected to your purpose. More than a moment of inspiration, TEY 2026 offers clarity, practical strength, and renewed energy — so you return with confidence, ready to continue shaping young lives with intention and impact.

Which day is for you?
For School Heads,
Coordinators & Leaders
What would it look like to lead a school where connection, trust, and belonging shape every part of the culture? TEY 2026 will offer you an opportunity to strengthen your leadership with practical insight and clarity, helping you navigate both the visible responsibilities and the often unseen demands of leading a school.
For Early Years
Educators
Teaching is more powerful when you are part of a community that sees you, supports you, and grows with you. TEY 2026 brings early years educators together for a day of connection, practical learning, and renewed purpose, exploring playful classrooms, visible thinking, and what it means to truly thrive in this work.
TEY EDTalks
Every educator has a story. TEY EDTalks is a series of three inspiring, TED-style talks delivered by early years educators — sharing the moments, ideas, and experiences that shaped their practice and transformed children’s lives.
Each speaker has 8 minutes. No prior public speaking experience required — just authenticity, reflection, and a story worth sharing.
