On the 3rd day of December our ‘Woodlands Advent Calendar’ brought a Christmas cactus & Poinsettia for the children to care for & add lovely seasonal plants to their nursery. Some children shared “they have soil”, “we need to water them”, “I like the colours”. 🪴🌺

The children’s offsite interest in gathering natural treasures this week were used to create their collective handmade door wreath.
Children shared “can you smell the pine?”, “it’s jaggy” and now it’s hanging beautifully on their nursery door to share their creation for all to see. 💕🍃

Can you help demonstrate the value of woodwork in early years settings by sharing your experience? 💡
The Big Bang Research Project is in its final phase of a seven-year study, evaluating the value of woodwork provision for young children, and there is still time for you to contribute.

A man is sharing a picture book with a small child. They are both smiling and she has an arm raised in excitement.
Shared reading might not solve all the problems families face.
But it makes a real and immediate difference in childhood and beyond.
On #UniversalChildrensDay, read our latest Impact Report to find out how we're bringing these benefits to children. 📚

An illustration of an open baby book and the words: "The earlier families start sharing books and stories, the more likely it is that children will continue being read to as they grow"
We're celebrating #BabyWeek2025 - but did you know that it's never too early to start reading with babies? 👶
Sharing stories in the earliest moments supports bonding, brain development, communication skills and family wellbeing 👇
