Here you can find our campaigns and causes we are lobbying for which support your nursery and highlight the positive work that nurseries do.

General election 2019

Child saying 'I am the future, invest in me'

Nurseries need the next government to get it right for early years.

But we need you to help us change the system. So act now. Tell your local election candidates why childcare matters.

We've launched a manifesto for early years. See it and access our free member resources to help you speak to your local candidates.

Access resources

Healthy Body, Happy Me

Join us to celebrate health and happiness at your early years setting with our annual Healthy Body, Happy Me campaign. Each year we offer a selection of downloadable resources for nurseries to access to support the health and happiness of their children.

For our 2019 campaign, we chose to work with The British Dental Association (BDA) on oral health, with thanks to our supporters, TTS and Consortium.

Access resources

Vitamin Angels

We have partnered with Vitamin Angels to provide nutritional assistance to young children from economically disadvantaged families.

This partnership provides a healthy supplemental food package, free of charge, to select nurseries serving children who are at nutritional risk in the UK.
