We are committed to supporting our members by sharing information and providing guidance. We support our members to provide early intervention and family services programmes. We provide high-quality support for members including general and bespoke business support, an in-house quality assurance scheme, an extensive professional development and learning programmes, and representing our members' voice in policy discussions with Welsh Government.

Settings do not have to follow an Early Years Wales constitution, but if they have adopted and registered one then they must hold membership with Early Years Wales. Failure to have an active membership invalidates this constitution. Early Years Wales accepts no liability for lapses in membership and the invalidation of constitutions in these circumstances.
