Putting children at the centre of everything we do.
We are a charity that believes in quality and sustainability, so we put our members’ businesses at the very heart of ours. We enhance, support, nurture, cherish and challenge. Our innovative thinking gives our members the edge, an advantage that makes your nursery the best it can be.
Our vision
For all children and families to flourish through high quality early childhood education and care.
Our mission
To lead and empower the sector so that nurseries and the early years workforce deliver sustainable, high quality early childhood education and care.
We are the people behind the people.
We are an award-winning charity and membership association supporting nurseries, early years settings and their workforce to deliver the best possible early education and care to our youngest children.
We are the national charity representing private, voluntary and independent (PVI) children’s nurseries across the UK. We are the voice of the 24,000-strong nursery sector, an integral part of the lives of more than a million young children and their families.
We represent a network of over 20,000 members including PVI run nurseries and their practitioners in England, Scotland and Wales.
Quite simply, we are the people behind the people who care, and champion the best for our children.
