Welcome to PATA

PATA’s reputation as an excellent source of support and information for childcare from birth to teens, is built on more than 15 years’ experience and expertise.

Our work throughout Gloucestershire plays a major part in sustaining local communities, contributing to the welfare of children and their families.

PATA membership benefits are available to all members in the voluntary, private and maintained sectors, including toddler groups, playgroups, day nurseries, crèches, early years centres, children's centres, out of school clubs and holiday play schemes.

When a child attends a PATA member setting their parent is automatically a PATA member. 

PATA’s dedicated and professional range of support services are also available nationally, through membership and under contracts, for the benefit of childcare settings throughout the country.

Swine Flu

The most important thing to remember is that there is no need to panic, as long as you follow the guidelines in the Government document "Planning for a human influenza pandemic - guidance for childcare and early years settings", the majority of people should be safe. There are more details at Teachernet. For an update from Gloucestershire County Council, click here.


PATA Services

Funding distributed by Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) has had to change and this has had an impact on PATA. We can however confirm that all your membership benefits remain intact, which includes the PATA Chatter and discounts on training. The payroll service and the training we provide are operating as normal. We will also be continuing to represent our members and the wider early years voluntary sector on the Children and Young People’s Strategic Partnership and its related boards and committees. There have however been some changes - more.
