The idea of #InternationalMudDay was first formed at a World Forum for Early Childhood Care & Education in Belfast in 2009. We're proud that this year the World Forum Foundation is linking to our Outdoor Hub Mud resources. Read more here: muddyfaces.co.uk/news/wff-hosts… World Forum Foundation

📘 Starting Strong is out next week! A new book for anyone who knows that school readiness shouldn’t be a checklist, it should be child-centred, play-rich, and rooted in relationships. Let’s change the story. Are you with us? 👇 #StartingStrong #SchoolReadiness #PlayMatters

(Sound on 🔊) Freeze dance! Play is something that comes so naturally to young children, but as adults we often even forget how to do it. But the benefits are clear, and more and more research links playing as adults to wellbeing. I recently discovered there’s even a Journal of

We’re calling on Bridget Phillipson to rethink approach to early years. Children need play, not pressure. The science is clear, school readiness shouldn’t come at the cost of child development. 🖊️ Sign the open letter: forms.office.com/Pages/Response… #PlayMatters #RethinkEarlyYears

If youre not familiar with Darrell Wakelam 's work, get yourself booked onto this workshop. His work is amazing and he's a great at what he does. You won't be disappointed!🥰

When it comes to grooming gangs in London, it’s dangerously naive to believe they don’t exist. I’ve spent years working in the care system—both on the front lines and in leadership—and I’ve seen the reality up close. Too many vulnerable children go missing, only to return with

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27: “It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young. At 26, I thought I had time… To fall in love. Start a family. Grow old. But cancer doesn’t care about plans.

To celebrate #NationalAllotmentWeek, 11-17 August, we've teamed up with allotmentonline to offer a super children’s gardening bundle. Complete with real, child-sized tools & a comfy spot to sit & rest, it’s ideal for green-fingered little ones. More info: muddyfaces.co.uk/news/allotment…

I hope one day somehow someone else buys this house we all live in here, and fixes it back to how it was when we first fell in love with it. Oh and changes the name on the door back to Twitter.

This lovely lady has just been proposed to at #Radio2Cheltenham Congratulations to the lovely couple, apologies for our photobombing in the background 🥰 😳

threads.com/@captn_artypan… saw this on Threads and thought of you you C.E.A. Forster 🥰

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary Unfortunately I wish it was still Twitter, it’s not the same lovely space anymore. I’m only here for a few special friends 😞

I urge everyone to share this post. Disgusting treatment by Waitrose & Partners My daughter Sadie Travis used to work with this young man, who is a lovely lad. He deserves better. Shame on Waitrose🤬

For those back home, young lad here looking for a few hours work and not appreciated by Waitrose & Partners he deserves miles better. Anyone got anything for him?
