childcare students in lancashire

"A local secondary school head teacher asked me to deliver a Peep session within their childcare course, so that their students could gain a better understanding of how we work with parents and children together. The school had heard about some 5-week Peep sessions that I’d previously done in local daycare settings. I went along with two mums and their three 2 year old boys, and we did a 45 minute Peep session for the childcare students. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but as soon as we started to sing the Hello song the children came and joined in and stayed focused for the whole session! The school was really pleased and has asked us to go back."

Feedback from local parents - Peep groups for babies and toddlers:

"Both my children have gained confidence by attending Peep and many other skills such as singing, clapping hands and creativity."

"Peep has given me as a mum a sense of belonging. My child has also been given that same feeling along with growing in his community of friend and families."
South African mum new to area

"Peep is a real hub of our community where every parent and child is valued, welcomed and supported. I feel so privileged to have had Peep as a lifeline especially when I became a mum for the first time. What I love about Peep and in my opinion what makes it so unique is the way each session is structured with a particular focus. There are always lots of useful ideas and ways to extend our children’s play, learning and development at home too. My daughter has really flourished and had lots of fun in the two years she has attended Peep. She loves the staff, routines, activities and sees it as a home from home."

'peep into pre-school' project

We're delighted to be part of the Sutton Trust & Esme Fairbairn Foundation Parental Engagement Fund project, launched in March 2015.

Our part of the project is Peep into Pre-school - focusing on reaching and engaging local families with young children, to make the most of their funded pre-school place. Research has shown that the two main influences on children's later outcomes are what parents/carers do with their young children at home, and receiving high quality childcare.

Our work will focus on:

  • working closely with our local children’s centre to identify eligible families
  • carrying out a home visit to all eligible families (introducing them to pre-schools in the area)
  • additional home visits if helpful, to spend more time on aspects such as enhancing children's communication and language, and sharing the benefits of pre-school
  • supporting families with a smooth transition into pre-school - including the offer of an accredited 10-week Peep into Pre-school Programme for eligible families the term before they start 
  • holding a series of events for parents about how they can support early literacy, early numeracy, communication and language, personal, social and emotional development, and health and physical development 
  • identifying ‘parent champions’ to promote the value of pre-schools to families within the community.

We will share our experience and findings from the project with other interested organisations, as well as gathering and sharing experiences from practitioners in other areas who use the peep learning together programme in childcare settings. The project will be evaluated by the University of Oxford.

Take the first right down Newman Road, then right at the first mini-roundabout along Cowley Road (Littlemore) and drive under the flyover. 
Take the first left down Champion Way, first right into Giles Road and second left into Northfield Close. 
The Peeple Centre (and the Littlemore entrance to Oxford Academy) are at the very end of Northfield Close. Turn right inside the gate and go down to the car park at the end of the drive, which is next to the Peeple Centre (Peep the Parrot faces mark the spot on the map below!). There is plenty of parking space.

Stagecoach and Oxford Bus Company buses stop in Rose Hill approx every 15 minutes, about half a mile from the Peeple Centre (follow same walking route as for driving directions above).
