ECHO, the Early Childhood Organisation, is a small voluntary organisation that began in Bristol in 1984 to raise awareness of the importance of the earliest years.  It continues to provide professional learning opportunities for everyone working or interested in the sector, including teachers, nursery nurses, academics, health professionals, social workers, childminders and parents/carers. ECHO now works in a formal partnership with Early Education  and Early Education members receive a discount on the cost of booking events.
