Who are BAND?
BAND
are an umbrella organisation
which supports and develops childcare provision in and around Bristol.
We provide services to childcare providers, people working with children,
families and employers. As well as working locally, BAND also plays an
active role in national initiatives in the fields of childcare, play provision
and working parents' issues, working closely with key agencies. Our role
continues to expand as childcare provision increases and we act in an
advisory capacity for many bodies, both locally and nationally.
Membership
of BAND
Around 220
organisations are members of BAND, of which around 90 are providers of
pre-school or out of school childcare.
Membership entitles
organisations to:
- Advice & Support from our Development & Support Team
- Free or low cost training courses
- Good Practice Guidelines
- BAND News which is published 6 times a year
- Funding Advice
- Discounted Insurance
- Free hire of books and play equipment

BAND is based at The Proving House in St Werburgh's along with our sister organisations: PEYTU (The Play & Early Years Training Unit), The Children's & Young People's Information Service, Bristol Holiday Playschemes and Children's Scrapstore.
I was involved
with Student Community Action which has membership to BAND and I attended
training and received other information from BAND. I found the membership
very beneficial.
