Online Webinar: Leading Early Years at Scale - Culture, Change & Wellbeing

Risk is everywhere in leadership - from rapid growth and integrations to shifting policies, evolving expectations, and the everyday pressures on teams. Understanding how to lead through change with clarity, protect wellbeing, and intentionally shape culture is key to helping people - and settings - thrive.

This webinar offers a clear, encouraging look at how early years leaders can read sector trends, build resilient cultures, and navigate growth (including mergers and acquisitions) with confidence. Whether you lead a single nursery or a multi-site group, you’ll gain practical insight into small leadership shifts that make a big impact - so teams feel supported, engaged, and future-ready. With thought-provoking reflection and real-world examples, we’ll explore how culture becomes the heartbeat of your organisation, not just a paragraph in your handbook.

Meet Our Speaker: Stuart Graham
A familiar face in early years, Stuart brings 13+ years of sector experience and a track record of maximising organisational potential through strategy, people-centred leadership, and strong cultures - across both start-ups and large nursery groups. He blends practical insight with a warm, grounded style that speaks to leaders at every scale.

Whether you’re guiding a stable team or leading through significant change, Stuart will support you with clarity, empathy, and actionable next steps.
