Exhibiting

Childcare Expo 2012 is THE Event for the Early Years, Childcare and Nursery Sector. The next show will take place on Friday 28th and Saturday 29th September 2012 at the Ricoh Arena Coventry.

Why exhibit?

As an exhibitor, Childcare Expo 2012 will provide you with a chance to generate a brand new client base within the ever growing early year’s industry.

"We launched at Expo last year and it was so good to come back! Childcare Expo is such a friendly show; both exhibitors and visitors. With so much as expected to see, the show also provides lots to hear and do! As an exhibitor I feel valued (unlike I do at some others) and it is really well organised.”
Catherine Lyon - EASYsolution 4 NURSERY EDUCATION
