Can you help demonstrate the value of woodwork in early years settings by sharing your experience? 💡
The Big Bang Research Project is in its final phase of a seven-year study, evaluating the value of woodwork provision for young children, and there is still time for you to contribute.

What is more exciting than our very first leek harvest? We managed to grow a fantastic crop which then let us give everyone a home grown leek, potato and recipe card to enjoy making leek and potato soup at home.#Lifeskills #GreenFingers

Shared reading might not solve all the problems families face.
But it makes a real and immediate difference in childhood and beyond.
