This was a great discussion, and in spite of all the current difficulties, full of hope. Care and education of young children is a shared responsibility, privilege & joy. And it needs meticulous planning & logistical support.

Great to see this Nursery World series! 👶 We were pleased to share some of the heritage sites doing great work to engage under 5s, including some #FamilyFriendlyMuseum Award finalists. Have a read 👇 (£)

Thrilled to be talking part in this panel discussion BECERA and exploring power, agency & voice from our diverse perspectives and positions!

The most deprived local authorities are also the most likely to be 'childcare deserts' (where there are more than three children for every early year's place).

This means the kids who could stand to benefit the most from early years education and care are being locked out.

Just back from a fantastic weekend writing The Gothic Church with brilliant CREC colleagues.
