I love this Froebel quote, it’s so very powerful. ‘Every child should be accepted as an indispensable and essential member of the human race’. The question is how are we doing this is practice?

Our #podcasting moves up a gear thanks to NLive Radio - The Station that LOVES Northampton who are letting us use their excellent facilities. Dropping in those week for the first recording session were Childhood, Youth & Families academics. The next episode of their ‘Golden Threads’ series will be out soon.

Always grateful to connect and collaborate, especially when it’s advocating for children! #ECSManifesto #OneEarlyChildhoodVoiceOneVision

New research from David Meechan & colleagues at Nottingham Trent University & in The Observer looks at issues impacting #earlyyears since the introduction of new rules around childcare. With increased numbers of children nurseries often ‘crowd control’ more than educate. theguardian.com/education/2024…
