🧑‍⚖️🏦Yesterday, our Head of Food Policy Rob Percival provided oral evidence to the ‘Food, Diet and Obesity Committee’ in the House of Lords.

Thanks, LEYF. We'd definitely love to welcome more men to join our workforce. Whilst we have male practitioners in most of our settings, we'd love the children to have more male role models at nursery.

Happy Leap Day! ⁠
⁠
We have some brilliant male practitioners at Snapdragons, but there's no denying the girls outnumber the boys in Early Years. So, MITEY we have a Leap Year proposal for you. Will you join us in our happy family?⁠
Help us level up!⁠ ⁠
