Empowering Early Years: Connect Childcare x Everything Early Years Partnership
We’re excited to announce a brand-new partnership between Connect Childcare and Everything Early Years – a collaboration designed to support and empower nursery managers, owners, and early years professionals across the sector.
At Connect Childcare, our goal has always been to make life easier for early years settings, not just through our nursery management software, but by offering practical support, expert-led resources, and free tools to help the sector thrive. Now, by teaming up with Everything Early Years, we’re extending that mission even further.
What is Everything Early Years?
Everything Early Years is a supportive consultancy business founded by sector expert Jamie Victoria Barnes, previously known as The Childcare Guru. Jamie is an early years consultant, former Ofsted inspector, award-winning author, and national speaker with a passion for raising standards and simplifying compliance across the sector.
After years of providing one-to-one support, audits, training and mock inspections for settings across the UK, Jamie created the Everything Early Years Membership to offer a way to help more people at once, while still maintaining the personal, hands-on guidance she’s known for.
The membership gives nursery leaders and childminders the tools, confidence, and real-time support they need to stay on top of compliance, prepare for inspections, and lead successful teams, all without the stress, confusion, or burnout.
What’s included in the membership?
The Everything Early Years Membership offers practical, ongoing support for those leading early years settings. Members gain access to:
- Leadership and management support tailored for nursery owners and managers
- Group training calls breaking down Guidance and supporting you to be compliant with requirements
- Monthly Inspection Group Clinics to build confidence, knowledge & understanding
- A private WhatsApp community with expert and peer-to-peer support
- Live Q&As, resources , and sector updates made easy to understand
- Motivational content and team inspiration to drive excellence
Whether you’re working to improve your operations, develop your staff and raise standards, this is the resource that helps you feel confident, compliant and in control.
Why we’ve partnered with Everything Early Years
Jamie’s warmth, knowledge, and deep connection to the early years community make her an ideal partner for Connect Childcare. Her mission to raise standards and reduce overwhelm for settings aligns perfectly with our own values and purpose.
You may have already seen Jamie in our webinars and expert guides, and now we’re thrilled to formalise our partnership. Together, we’ll continue creating insightful content and supportive resources to help early years professionals thrive.
With Connect Childcare’s smart systems and Jamie’s trusted support network, we’re proud to bring you a collaboration focused on clarity, confidence, and community.
