A CHILD CARE networking event will be held at Railway Street Community Centre, Nelson, on Thursday, March 27, between 9.30am and 2pm.

The event is being organised by New Era Enterprises, based in Burnley, and is for anyone who works in child care or would like to work in the sector.

There will be a range of organisations giving advice, including Ofsted, the Inland Revenue, the National Childminding Association and the Children First Resource Centre, as well as the development workers for childminding, day nurseries and out-of-school clubs.

Children will be kept amused by a magician and a craft session, and there will be a free buffet.

The event is part of a project to develop child care in Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale.
