Our Approach
Our approach to early education and care is rooted in place-based programme development, research and policy so that children, families and early childhood practitioners can flourish.
Early Childhood & Family Wellbeing
We work on the ground with families in Worcestershire and Herefordshire, providing family wellbeing services, parent-infant therapeutic pogrammes, and quality early learning.
Professional Development
We offer innovative, practitioner-led training programmes that help practitioners to build practices that transform education and care for all children and families. Our professional development hub ensures that our evidence-based practices, such as our Infant Mental Health Champions training, are shared with and adopted by others.
Research Hub
We are committed to pioneering research partnerships that study and advance early childhood practice. We know that we have greater impact when we come together. By sharing and learning from one another, we can only do better. Our collaborative approach aims to accelarate learning and impact.
