We Are Expanding!

31 July 2025

We are delighted to announce that two Trainee Early Years Creative Practitioners are joining our Little People Big Ideas early years project team.

Following a very competitive call out and interview process we are welcoming two trainees to be part of our early years team. Originally, we were planning to offer one position, but we were so impressed by two candidates that we offered them both the opportunity to join us.

During this paid, year long, career development opportunity we will provide training, mentoring and work experience alongside our experienced early years creative practitioners. Together we will explore child-centred practices, co-creation and collaboration as we deliver our project with children and staff in early years settings in Somerset and Dorset. We hope that this next year will provide a launching point into the joyful and fulfilling world of creativity with 2 – 4 year olds.

Both trainees have interesting and diverse backgrounds and art practices, we can’t wait for them to get started with us. We will introduce you to them both in our next newsletter!

Summer holidays mean a change of pace for us. We are less out on the road, but have lots of reviewing, planning and report writing to do!  We embrace this change but are looking forward to the new term in September.

Wishing you all happy summer holidays!

End of year tasks include washing our scarf collection – an invaluable early years resource!
