Tender opportunity reopens for Early Years education provision in Newtown

29 April 2026

An opportunity has reopened for experienced early years providers to help meet growing demand for pre‑school education in the Newtown area, Powys County Council has announced.

Due to a continued shortfall in available places, the council is now looking suitably qualified providers to deliver high‑quality, inclusive early years education for local children and families. The focus is on provision that is nurturing, sustainable and aligned with current statutory and quality standards.

This opportunity is open to a range of providers operating across the private, voluntary, independent, charitable and social enterprise sectors, who can demonstrate the experience and capability needed to deliver strong early learning outcomes.

Dr Richard Jones, the council's Director of Education, said: "We know the value that skilled early years providers bring to children, families and communities. Demand for places in Newtown continues to grow, and this tender offers experienced providers the chance to play a key role in strengthening local early years education and ensuring children get the best possible start."
