Little explorers

 

Little Explorers is a supportive, evidence-based programme designed to strengthen the vital partnership between schools, nurseries, and families in the early years (EYFS). At the heart of the programme is a commitment to nurturing children’s early learning and development by encouraging consistent support across home and school.

So What Do We Do

We train school and nursery staff in the Peep Learning Together Programme, equipping them with the skills and confidence to support parents in providing positive home learning environments. Our team then provides ongoing support as staff lead weekly sessions which are engaging and inclusive, build trust, improve communication, and create a welcoming school culture where families feel valued and involved.
