Connection is the foundation for everything in the early years — learning, wellbeing, behaviour, communication and belonging. This year’s conference explores how we build and sustain meaningful connection across all the places it happens: in the adult–child relationship, through peer play, in partnership with families, and in the everyday routines and experiences that shape children’s sense of safety and identity.

We are collecting orders for BookTrust Pre-schooler packs for those children in targeted settings in Exeter and East Devon, so please look out for the email in the next week.

Ofsted have confirmed their position regarding banned dog breeds in domestic childcare settings. They do not believe that banned breeds are compatible with childcare.

It’s Funding Friday and this week we have information from Devon Libraries and Free Kellogg’s Breakfast at Morrisons during school holidays.
