Here's What People Are Saying…
“In her Early Years Summits, Kathy Brodie captures the best of current thinking, practice and research from those who not only have something important to contribute to our professional development but also demonstrate a passion to see children's lives improved. I have gained in my knowledge and outlook from every single item I have watched.”
David Wright
Owner, Paint Pots Nurseries
“Another fabulously informative summit. You really have given us a broad overview with some staggeringly amazing tips and underpinning nuggets on how best to work with our children once we go back into the nursery. Language and communication is obviously going to be so vital in this work.”
Bridget Thomson
“I love the Early Years Summit and still follow and interact with some of the speakers from it. I look forward to it every year and recommend it to lots of people 🥰 “

This Is What Previous Attendees Said…
“This whole summit and videos are absolutely amazing!! I love Speech & Language… I’ve had years of working in EYFS and worked closely with SLT services, so as you can imagine, this is music to my ears. I have two huge note books which I am using to make notes in as well as adding all the website info so I can research later on. I am always a sceptical about ‘free’ things but this has been an absolute revelation. Amazing! Thank you so very much for making this available in this way. I am thrilled with all the content and the amount of knowledge I have gained just through this week!!”
Allison Ellis
Summit Attendee
“Just want to give you a big shout out for your fantastic hard work to bring such experienced professionals to brush up our knowledge to help us to recognise the work we are doing with the children and how we can improve it further to support the well-being of the children in our care.
I bought the recordings and I’m throughly enjoying every second of listening to all these lovely people. Best summit ever!! Thank god I didn’t miss out on it. Keep up with the good work!!”
Anjal Ahluwalia
Summit Attendee
“I’ve listened to some of the speakers, and was very impressed. Thank you for providing such a wide range of insight into the field of language acquisition in young children. A lot of the ideas and practices described build on years of amazing work by early years educators. For years I worked as a nursery teacher with children and families for whom English was an additional language. This summit is invaluable as a learning resource for all: parents, careers and early years professionals.”
Ann Fitton
Summit Attendee
“As a final year speech and language therapy student I am currently working my way through all the fantastic interviews from the Early Years Summit. There is such a wealth of knowledge and expertise available so I wanted to thank you for putting it all together. The Summit has been very useful just before I begin my role as a newly qualified paediatric Speech and Language Therapist.”

Frequently Asked Questions
First, you need to register for the summit using any of the free registration buttons or forms.
After registration you'll be sent a link to the summit live page which you can use when the summit starts on Monday May 30th.
We'll also send you an email every day during the summit with details of that day's featured videos. The link will remain the same each day so you can bookmark it and come back whenever you want during summit week.
The summit interviews can be viewed on any modern computer, tablet or phone.
The main requirement is that you have a fast enough internet connection for the videos to play. If you can watch youtube videos from your device then you should be fine to watch the summit videos too (and they'll be much more useful for you!)
If you buy the recordings you'll get lifetime access to watch the videos and will also be able to download them. You'll need a computer with enough hard disk space if you want to download the videos.
The videos will be live on the site to watch for free until the end of the summit on Sunday June 5th 2022.
If you want to watch the interviews after then you'll need to buy the recordings which will give you lifetime access.
We encourage you to share details of the summit with your friends and colleagues so they can register to get access themselves.
We do ask, however, that you don't share copies of the recordings you buy. Payment entitles you to a copy of the recordings for use by one person only. If you are found in violation of this in any way (including, but not restricted to, intranet) your access to the videos will be terminated immediately, without notice and without refund.
If your colleagues or friends would like a copy of the recordings they'll need to buy themselves. We've made the price of the recordings low so that hopefully everyone can afford to get a copy.
Please remember, the Early Years Summit is almost entirely funded by purchases of the recordings. If people share the recordings instead of purchasing them then the summit won't be able to continue.
Just email us at support@kathybrodie.com and we'll get back to you straight away to fix your problem.
Get the summit recordings to keep and watch forever. Prices start at just £37.50 (approx $47 USD, $65 AUD)
