Voco St Johns Hotel, Solihull UK
The Day Nursery Owners Conference AND Awards was held on May 19th 2023 at the St John’s Hotel Solihull and was our biggest and the best yet.
Over 257 nursery owners were present on the day (representing over 1065 settings!) for this years event and it was the one opportunity this year for owners to listen in person to non-industry experts speak about their own businesses – how with the right attitude and changes, they too can improve their own businesses.

Get to know the people who are doing the work and actually living the vision, the experts.
The conference program is one of the very few opportunities in the UK where we focus on the business on Childcare.
We are looking forward to Your Childcare Business’s 6th annual conference, which promises to be the best yet, and we anticipate, yet again, that it will be a great success.
Nursery Owners come to our events as strangers and leave as firm friends. Come and say hello to your peers and together, we can learn and shape our businesses to be easier to run and more successful.
Come and join us with our amazing line-up of speakers for the day! Refreshments and lunch is included as well as the opportunity to network and meet our showcases.
Can only make the evening? At this years conference during the evening dinner we will be presenting the Day Nursery Owner Awards, then join us to party the night away.

Whereas most nursery owners dream of getting a silly offer for their nurseries, and retiring at a ridiculous early age, Sian did it. So what now? Sian will tell you what life is like on the otherside. She now owns holiday lets and runs a company called the Bucket List Travel company - which specialises in spectacular, vision board holidays. She will be talking about her journey and the nursery engine she built that allowed her to ask for (and get) top dollar. “If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you'll achieve the same results.” Tony Robbins
We all dream of selling our nurseries for a great pay day and early retirement. But when you do, will you have enough money to live in the manner that you want? Don’t leave this to chance - know your number, get a plan, and work it. Geoff presented the dry topic of life insurance, investments, tax and pensions on stage last year, AND made it entertaining. Geoff will be bringing you new ideas, insights and inspiration again this year. Geoff has a simple goal: To help you make better choices with your money and align these choices to what is important to YOU. Geoff achieves this through a long-term, open, transparent and trusted relationship.
