I'm hearing more and more that people are struggling to get time away from settings for EYP meetings. Maybe they are being viewed as a luxury? I would totally agree about feeling isolated. Have you looked at www.eyps.info ? Kent are a subscribing LA, so you should be able to sign up for free. Its a great forum and information website, which caters for EYPs. A great place to let off steam, discuss issues and exchange ideas with other professionals. Hi Julie,

Unfortunately, I have not been able to join any meetings for my area (Kent) as they are quite a long distance from my nursery, and it would involve a day out of work, which is often quite difficult to arrange. Having achieved EYP, I'm starting to feel a little isolated and undervalued, especially with the uncertainty of the future of the qualification being discussed in the press. How do others feel across the country? Hi Kathy,
