Background

PATA was formed more than 17 years ago and provides training, support and information to a range of settings (across voluntary, private and maintained sectors) offering high quality child care, education and play opportunities. The Association currently represents around 13,000 children from 0-16 years old.
 

PATA's work throughout Gloucestershire plays a major part in sustaining local communities and contributes to the county's economic success and the elimination of child poverty and social exclusion.
