Thank you, thank you so very much Geth for your epic Comic Relief skate - you look broken and there are tears all round from team Dingley's Promise. Sending much love for a speedy recovery... and huge thanks from our team, the children and their families.


Hearing about how critical high quality #training is in the #earlyyears to close the gap for the most disadvantaged children. Supporting #children with #SEND is a common thread, which is obviously a key Dingley's Promise focus. dingley.org.uk/training 💙


Thank you Tes magazine for raising awareness of the importance of specialist #earlyyears settings that build wider #inclusion. If specialist provision is vital after age 5, and we know early intervention is critical for child outcomes, why not in #earlyyears? tes.com/magazine/news/…
