OxNEST Is a new collaboration offering events and training to support the early years sector in Oxford City dedicating to improving health and wellbeing for all young children in Oxford. We want to harness the power of communities and dedicated professionals to find new and innovative ways of working together in challenging times.
OxNEST was incubated through the Oxford Early Years rapid action lab project in 2018. Now Flo’s has taken it under its wing. We are delighted to be offering our first courses run by experienced and well known experts in early years. You can find further details and book direct through the Eventbrite links below (there is a small charge) or you can email your booking to Oxnest@flosoxford.org.uk and we will invoice you with BACS transfer details.
