Welcome to
BRISTOL EARLY YEARS



As a city, we are committed to reducing inequality and building inclusion so that all our children and young people grow up in a city where they feel at home, where they feel they belong, and where they and their families can thrive

Bristol Early Years is aware of the significant workforce recruitment and retention challenges facing the sector, both here in our city, and nationally

Bristol Early Years are committed to addressing diversity and inclusion in a meaningful, constructive and holistic way



The Free Entitlement has been expanded to include 2 year olds from working families from April 24 and Under 2s from working families from September 24.

The government is providing a package of training, qualifications, support and guidance for the early years sector to address the impact of the pandemic on the youngest and most disadvantaged children.

It’s GIVEAWAY time!
This month, we are giving away a copy of I am wriggly by Michael Rosen, illustrated by Robert Starling
@robertstarling_art
Michael Rosen describes this book as a ‘book to play with’ and invites us to ‘sing, chant or dance the words’. Fun rhyming words explore the wriggly nature of a rabbit playing and not being able to stop!
This could offer a familiar scenario for many young learners who find it difficult to stop wriggling and giggling as they play. A wonderful, playful opportunity to celebrate different ways of learning and a great to explore language and sounds along the way.
To be in with a chance of winning, tell us in the comments below, what song or action rhyme you use to support your wiggly jiggly children?
Don’t forget to check out the website for brilliant resources, longer book lists & much more!
