Home is where the start is: an online family festival of fun and learning by Early Years Alliance

March 16, 2023

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every day that begins at 12:00 am, repeating until March 18, 2023

Home is where the start is: an online festival of fun and learning for the whole family!

Our free online family festival celebrates your role of parents and carers as your child’s first and most enduring educator.

During this fun family event, which will take place via Zoom and is aimed at parents and carers of under-fives, we will share information and advice about how you can support children’s learning and development at home through lots of exciting sessions for you and your children.

Activities will include fun communication and language sessions, easy money-saving cookery ideas that you and your children can join in with, taster baby massage sessions and much, much more.

The three-day online festival will run from Thursday 16 March to Saturday 18 March 2023, and you can book to attend as many or as few free sessions as you like.

All attendees will also be automatically entered into a prize draw to win one of five free Tonieboxes worth £79.99!

The event is supported by the DFE Voluntary and Community Sector Fund.

We will look forward to seeing you there!
